One of many wonderful survival stories!
Take a look at this wonderful video put together by Take Heart Australia! Cassandra survived her Sudden Cardiac Arrest at the beach in 2012 thanks to the fantastic efforts of those around her…. “It is a great story about how really good solid effective chest compressions can save a life” said Carpet Hughes, Intensive Care Paramedic & Managing Director Defibshop. “In all of my clinical practice, I am not sure I have done a Cardiac Arrest without breaking ribs”. “Whilst it is not the intention of anyone to break ribs, it is certainly a by-product of undertaking excellent life saving chest compressions” Carpet said. Take a look at Cassandra’s story here…
