Another AED save!


On Saturday August 28th a middle aged man fell to the floor unconscious at the San Jose International Airport. Two passengers began administering CPR while two Airport SJPD officers responded with a Airport AED. The AED was used on the patient. San Jose Fire Department station 20 personnel along with USAR 5 got on scene took over patient care, shocked the patient two additional times and initiated Advanced Life support measures. The survivor was taken to O'Connor hospital and is expected to be released by the end of the week. This had a successful outcome because it was a total team effort that our own Jack Grogan would have been proud of.
