We would like to recognize our A Shift for a recent cardiac arrest save.

In late February, A Shift responded to a report of a male with breathing difficulties. While EMS was en route, dispatchers continued their protocols, recognizing the patient was in cardiac arrest. Dispatchers then provided CPR instructions to the 911 caller over the phone, beginning life saving interventions before EMS arrival.

Upon EMS arrival, our firefighters got to work quickly, using high quality CPR and advanced cardiac life support protocols to treat the patient. After defibrillating the patient a short time later, a pulse was restored and the patient began breathing on their own. The patient was promptly transported to the hospital where they made a full recovery before being discharged home days later.
