Produced by NASA, this 1970s government film demonstrates how paramedics use NASA technology to respond to heart attacks. The agency originally developed the technology for emergency resuscitation for the manned space program. The ability of first responders to communicate directly with hospital doctors via instant voice and EKG transmission marked a major breakthrough for Earthbound emergency medical services. NASA also pioneered technology for microwelding and microassembly, making it possible for paramedics to carry all necessary tools in a 40-pound CPR toolkit.
