Bystanders used an automatic external defibrillator to help revive a 16 year old who collapsed from cardiac arrest during a high school basketball game, Ottawa paramedics said.
It happened around 9:20 p.m. Saturday after the boy had returned to his bench at Sir Robert Borden High School on Greenbank Road.
A cardiologist who happened to be on the scene started cardiopulmonary resuscitation while others got the school’s AED, which was purchased by the school board and maintained by city paramedics.
The boy was given a single shock before paramedics arrived and continued efforts to revive him, giving more shocks before his pulse returned.
The teen woke up while being taken to the hospital and was at CHEO in serious but stable condition, paramedics reported Monday.
“Without the actions of the bystanders, the outcome might have been quite different,” paramedic service Supt. Marc-Antoine Deschamps said in a news release.
The incident highlights the life-saving importance of bystander CPR and the early use of one of the 1,100 AEDs across Ottawa, he said. Five people have been revived by the devices since the beginning of the year.
