AED Used in Detroit Marathon

Posted by Valarie Brehm on 10/19/2010 to Lives Saved By AEDs
A 51-year-old woman from Rochester, New York, collapsed during the Detroit Marathon on October 17th, 2010. The woman, who was running her first marathon, collapsed near the second mile marker as she suffered cardiac arrest. Medical technicians performed CPR and restored her heartbeat through the use of an AED. The woman is reportedly in Detroit Receiving Hospital, where she is in critical condition.

Last year, three men collapsed and died during the 13.1-mile half-marathon in Detroit. Autopsies later showed that the men, Daniel Langdon, 36, Jonathan Fenlon, 26, and Rick Brown, 65, died due to heart conditions.

AEDs Today recommends any sporting event, particularly strenuous events like marathons and half-marathons, have strategic placement of AEDs. To rely on paramedics and professional rescue personnel may not be enough, as has been proven too many times. We wish the woman the speediest of recoveries here at AEDs Today, and we congratulate the Detroit paramedics that were able to restore the woman's heartbeat.
