This is a great story of three rescuers coming together to form an effective team approach to CPR with great results!
"Diligence, discipline and strong encouragement for learning CPR and first aid led a trio of Minnesota electric cooperative employees to save the life of a guest speaker who collapsed during his recent presentation. Lancaster and two others rushed to the victim’s aid. Lancaster was at his head; Dustin Privette, safety administrator, and Wade Aanderud, plant operations leader, went to each side. Following CPR protocol, Lancaster tried to talk to the victim—whose name the co-op is withholding for confidentiality purposes—but got no response." Within minutes after starting compressions, the victim showed signs of life, said Lancaster, who was about to use the AED device but got a “do not shock” signal, an indicator of a pulse." http://www.ect.coop/newsmakers/co-op-news-newsmakers/co-op-first-aid-and-cpr-policy-saves-life/90392
