At 3:37 p.m. on October 20, the Su Lifei emergency team of the Huanggu Third Branch Center of Shenyang Emergency Center received a message from the clinic: "Someone has fainted on Jinshan North Road, please come out quickly." At this time, the emergency team that had just successfully completed the consultation was on its way back to the sub-center, and when the command was given, all the emergency personnel entered the combat state again. The emergency driver Zhang Fubin quickly turned the front of the car and rushed to the scene, and the doctor Su Lifei contacted the police person through the car phone. An 80-year-old man and his family came to handle business, but they did not expect to faint on the ground as soon as they entered the gate, and the on-site personnel were rescuing... Years of rescue experience allowed Dr. Su to quickly judge that the elderly may have respiratory arrest, and she quickly informed nurse Liang Dechao to prepare rescue supplies to buy time for the patient's rescue.
After arriving at the scene, Dr. Su quickly ran to the patient's side for examination, the call was unresponsive, there was no pulse when touching the carotid artery, and the jaw type breathing. Thankfully, the staff and the masses at the scene were performing chest compressions on patients. Dr. Su took over to continue pressing, nurse Liang Dechao quickly established intravenous access, emergency personnel Liu Jidong and Guo Xiaoning helped Dr. Su use balloon masks to hold the ball to assist ventilation, quickly transport rescue equipment, everything is in a tense and orderly manner... 2 minutes have passed, the ECG shows as ventricular fibrillation, the defibrillator is ready to be positioned, charged, shocked, continue pressing. 2 minutes passed again, the electrocardiogram appeared on the ECG, followed by a regular heart rhythm, the old man's heartbeat recovered, breathing also recovered. Everyone was shocked, dr. Su quickly told the family the news, and the family's hanging heart finally let go. But Dr. Su knew that this was just the beginning, because the patient was not awake yet, brain resuscitation was the key, at this time the patient must be immediately transported to the hospital for fast and effective advanced life support, the ambulance blue light flashed and rushed to the hospital.
Along the way, the emergency personnel are still paying close attention to the patient's vital signs, Dr. Su patted the old man's shoulders, shouting loudly next to the old man's ear, the old man suddenly replied with a weak voice, Dr. Su's hanging heart fell to the ground, although the old man's voice was weak, but it proved that the old man was already conscious, and brain resuscitation was successful. When the patient was transferred to the nearest hospital, the old man opened his eyes and coughed, and finally fully awake. Recalling that the old man had just suddenly fallen into a coma, and then resumed his heartbeat and breathing, now seeing that the old man was fully awake, the patient's family was ecstatic at this time, excited and constantly thanking the emergency personnel. At this time, the first responders were also as happy and joyful as their families, although they had already visited the clinic to rescue countless patients. But the sense of accomplishment brought about by each successful rescue is irreplaceable. The successful rescue of each patient represents the happiness and peace of a family.
When the emergency personnel summed up the visit afterwards, they agreed that the cardiopulmonary resuscitation given by the crowd at the scene played a very important role and effectively used the "golden four minutes". At normal room temperature, irreversible damage to brain cells occurs after 4 minutes of cardiac arrest, and if the time is more than 10 minutes, even if the patient is rescued, it may be brain death. Therefore, there is a "golden four minutes" in the first aid of sudden cardiac death. Master CPR skills, and when someone around them has a cardiac arrest, the key moments can buy them valuable time.
