"Running from the comprehensive control room in the north to the platform in the south in 30 seconds, I have never run so fast!" The scene of saving people a few days ago seemed to be still in front of Liu Zidan's eyes.
As the station chief on duty at Yongdingmenwai Station of Beijing-Hong Kong Metro Line 14, she and her colleagues successfully used an AED to rescue a 36-year-old male passenger.
It only took two minutes from finding the sick person on the platform to external defibrillation with AED!
And it was the golden rescue time that saved the comatose man from danger.
"Come and see! Someone fainted!" At 14:42 on August 12, a hurried call for help caught the attention of the station cleaners.
At this time, a man was lying flat on the seat of the south platform, the cleaners quickly reported the situation, and the station staff on duty also rushed to the scene to confirm.
Liu Zidan, who was on duty in the comprehensive control room, received the news and ran to the south platform at the fastest speed.
As she ran, she called on the platform and arranged for the colleague closest to the AED in the middle of the platform to pick up the equipment.
Later, according to the monitoring, it took only 30 seconds for Liu Zidan to walk fast for two or three minutes.
"The middle-aged man's face was purple, his hands were clenched into fists, and he seemed to have lost consciousness." The enthusiastic passenger and the staff described the patient's location and condition to the 120 operator on the phone.
Liu Zidan reached out and touched the other person's carotid artery, probed his nose, and observed the rise and fall of his chest... "No ups and downs, no breath." After a series of operations such as patting the passenger's shoulder and calling out loudly, it was initially determined that the passenger was not breathing and unconscious.
"Prepare to use AED!" Together, the group moved the burly comatose man to the ground to lie down.
The station supervisor Liu Jiankun tore off the AED electrodes, while Liu Zidan raced against time to press the man's chest and perform CPR.
"At that time, I just wanted to let him survive! At a critical juncture, life is more important than everything else!" Liu Zidan said.
Turn on the switch, stick the electrode pads on the patient's chest, and follow the voice instructions for rescue.
External defibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, artificial respiration, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, external defibrillation... After the second repetition, the man finally regained consciousness!
"Seeing that he is breathing, we also see hope." Liu Zidan still did not dare to relax, and paid close attention to the passenger's status for nearly 15 minutes until 120 emergency personnel arrived at the scene.
Although this kind of life-and-death rescue happened for the first time, many rescue drills have been repeated in this station and in all stations of the Beijing-Hong Kong Metro.
"Although it is also very nervous, everyone can be busy without being chaotic, which is the result of the usual training and drills." Liu Zidan recalled that the emergency personnel rushed to the scene to check and found that the man had recovered his heart rate and spontaneous breathing, but was still in a coma.
At this time, the subway staff who came to support from the adjacent station also arrived, and everyone lifted the man onto the folding bed and sent the ambulance to the ambulance.
From the discovery of the sick man to the time he was sent to the ambulance, the whole process only took a quarter of an hour!
At present, the man is still in the hospital for treatment, and can eat and speak after he wakes up.
It is understood that the passenger suffered from myocardial infarction, and the use of AED for on-site rescue played a key role in his escape from danger.
