In early May 2023, Jackson Township EMS responded to a report of cardiac arrest with CPR in progress. Jackson Police Department officers and RWJ-Barnabas paramedics were also dispatched to the scene. Arriving first, JPD officers continued CPR on the patient and applied an Automated External Defibrillator. JTEMS units arrived shortly thereafter to find the male patient with a pulse, breathing spontaneously, and regaining consciousness. JTEMS EMTs worked with RWJ-Barnabas paramedics to stabilize the patient and rapidly transport to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for definitive treatment.
Now in May of 2024, one year and a few days later, those same JTEMS EMTs and RWJ-Barnabas paramedics were invited to meet with Robert, their patient from this incident, who not only survived his cardiac arrest but is thriving. Robert and his family wished to thank the providers that came to his aid one year prior, and to share the perspective of a survivor on his experiences. Jackson Township EMS is honored to have had the opportunity for such a meeting, and we thank Robert for reaching out.
To the public, this incident highlights the importance of CPR training and rapid intervention in cardiac arrest. This incident had a positive outcome because of immediate, high-quality CPR. CPR training is held regularly in most areas. Contact JTEMS for questions regarding training in Jackson Township. CPR saves lives, get trained today!
