Police Officers Working at Nearby Police Station Provide Emergency Treatment
Received CPR and Defibrillator Training on the Same Day
A story has been shared about police officers who saved the life of a customer who lost consciousness and collapsed at a restaurant in Incheon.
On the 1st, a video titled "Police officers rushing out urgently! Inside the mysterious bag they carried out...!" was uploaded on the National Police Agency's YouTube channel. The video shows a customer dining at a restaurant in Incheon last September suddenly losing consciousness and collapsing. In the video, Mr. A suddenly lowered his head while eating and then leaned on his acquaintance Mr. B, who was dining face-to-face, and lost consciousness.
While Mr. B immediately called 119, another customer, Mr. C, who was watching the situation from a nearby table, ran to the police box about 20 meters away to seek help. Mr. C informed the police officers, "A customer at the restaurant has lost consciousness and is receiving emergency treatment." The police officers hurried to the scene to check the situation. One officer, who was about to leave the police box, quickly returned with an automated external defibrillator (AED) and followed. Incidentally, the police officers at this police box had just received regular cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillator training that morning.
The police officer who arrived at the restaurant first confirmed that Mr. A was not breathing and immediately laid him on the floor to perform CPR. While preparing to operate the AED, Mr. A gradually regained consciousness. The officers continued to talk to Mr. A and perform chest compressions to keep him awake until the ambulance arrived. Shortly after, paramedics arrived at the scene and transported Mr. A to the hospital. It was reported that Mr. A recovered his health after receiving treatment at the hospital.
Netizens who saw this reacted with comments such as "It's fortunate that the police box was right in front," "They must have accumulated a lot of merit to have just had that training (CPR and AED training) at the police station right nearby," "The customer who immediately informed the police box is also a savior," and "The necessity of regular training."
