Lives Saved By AEDs
A police officer from Andover, Massachusetts, used an automated external
defibrillator, or AED, to save the life of a worker at a River Street
firm. Officer Glen Ota responded to the emergency call, providing CPR on
the 59-year-old sufferer of sudden cardiac arrest as the man's
employees prepared the company's AED. Through their combined efforts and
the use of the AED, yet another life is saved.
Ota shocked the victim twice with the AED, which restarted his heart and restored his breathing. The man was then transported to Lawrence General Hospital.
