In the early hours of 2nd February, an accountant suddenly collapsed and turned blue at the Armory Building in West Hartford, Connecticut. Fortunately Central Connecticut Oral Maxillofacial & Implant Surgery was in the nearby space. Dr. Joseph Howard, D.D.S., M.D., and his team sprang into action when they heard people calling for help. Their efforts proved crucial as the accountant showed signs of recovery upon the arrival of paramedics. Dr. Howard and his team got a Life Saving award for their efforts. Dr. Howard now advocates for the importance of gaining CPR and AED skills.
On November 18, a 68-year-old man, Larry Friel, was dining with a group of 40 people at a Farmington restaurant near UConn Health when suddenly he went under cardiac arrest. A bystander Jill Irwin, a dental hygienist, sprang into action and promptly initiated CPR. They kept providing CPR until first responders arrived. Friel spent 9 days at the hospital. Now he emphasizes on the importance of learning CPR as it is a life-saving skill everyone should learn.
Connecticut State Troopers responded heroically during a Friday morning rainstorm on I-91 when they received a distress call about an unresponsive, non-breathing driver near Windsor's Exit 35. The driver, experiencing a medical crisis, received immediate attention. Troopers confirmed the absence of a pulse and initiated CPR, using a bag valve mask for assisted breathing. Windsor EMS arrived, taking over CPR while troopers provided support. The ambulance team managed to detect a pulse but the driver still couldn't breathe independently. Consequently, EMS remained with the patient, and a State Trooper assumed ambulance driving duties to rush the driver to Hartford Hospital. Their swift actions earned the troopers commendation for a Lifesaving Medal.
Jasmin Flores, was driving on Interstate 95 when she saw an accident involving several cars. A baby who was among the victims was found lying on the road unconscious so she rushed to the scene to save the baby. Bystanders were already at the scene when she arrived but nobody knew CPR so she immediately performed the lifesaving skills she learned in nursing school. This incident was an eye opener for her prompting her to teach a CPR training course at the University of Saint Joseph, her Alma Mater. She said she wants people to learn CPR the way they learn how to text, write a composition, or ride a bike.
