Bystanders and arena staff who quickly started the “chain of survival” may have saved the life of a 44-year-old man who collapsed during a hockey game at the Bell Sensplex Wednesday night.
Paramedics responded to a call for sudden cardiac arrest at the facility on Maplegrove Road in Kanata at 7:44 p.m.
By the time they arrived, witnesses had started CPR and delivered a shock with an Automated External Defibrillators (AED).
“Without bystanders jumping into action, this man may not have survived,” paramedics said, but after defibrillation, he was alert and talking to paramedics.
“Quick actions by bystanders and staff at the arena, who initiated all the key elements in the chain of survival, which includes early notification of 911, early bystander CPR, early public access defibrillation and advanced paramedic care are shown to dramatically increase survival in cases of sudden cardiac arrest,” the service said in a release.
The Ottawa Paramedic Service oversees more than 750 AEDs, which are in all police and fire vehicles and most recreational facilities, community centres and libraries.
Paramedics also encouraged businesses and organizations to buy one of the devices and register it with the service so dispatchers can direct callers to it in the event of an emergency.
