On Tuesday March 10, 2015 at 1030 hours units were dispatched to the 17000 block of Cobb Island Road for the unconscious patient not breathing. Engine 61 and Paramedic Ambulance 68 marked up with a total of 10 personnel. Company 6 units arrived on the scene within minutes of being dispatched to find a patient in cardiac arrest and not breathing. The crew from Engine 61 and Paramedic Ambulance 68 worked vigorously to revive the patient through Advance Life Support (ALS) intervention and high quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) with the help from the LUCAS2 device.

The units were met on the scene by Paramedic Ambulance 148 to provide additional ALS resources. After approximately 15 minutes of effective CPR and ALS intervention the crews were able to successfully resuscitate the patient. The patient was transported to a nearby hospital.

Company 6 units were able to perform high quality effective CPR with the help from our LUCAS2 device. This device was purchased for our department with the help from the Cobb Island VFD and EMS Auxiliary, and the funds that the Community has donated to the department. Thank you to our Auxiliary and the Community for this helpful device.
