2019 Letter of Recognition - E39, M71, RC4

On March 3, 2019, E39, M71 and RC4 responded to a cardiac arrest of a 16 year old boy. The boy was pulseless and apneic, being embraced by his father on the floor. The boy had been exercising and had a sudden cardiac arrest which was later diagnosed as a congenital heart defect. The boy was given aggressive CPR, multiple defibrillations and aggressive cardiac drug administrations. The patient was then rapidly transported to the closest facility to maintain the return of cardiac function which was applauded by the hospital staff. Without the excellent teamwork, aggressive treatment and rapid response and transport, the outcome could have been very different.
