Therapeutic hypothermia

Capt. (Dr.) Jason Higey (left front) and Maj. (Dr.) Karin Hawkins (right front) prepare to show a patient the therapeutic hypothermia machine that was instrumental in his treatment at Wilford Hall Medical Center after he suffered a cardiac arrest. Maj. (Dr.) Benjamin Romick (back left) and (Dr.) Andrew Muck (back right) explain how the machine was used to treat him. This was the first patient that the therapeutic hypothermia machine was used on since the equipment became available for use at the hospital in December. WHMC is the only hospital in the San Antonio area to use this method to treat cardiac patients. Doctors Hawkins and Romick are cardiologist assigned to the 59th Medical Operations Squadron along with cardiologist fellow Dr. Higey. Dr. Muck is a staff physician with the 59th Emergency Medical Squadron. (U. S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Kimberly A. Yearyean-Siers)
