Mechanic Saves Babies Life with CPR
The CPR app PulsePoint is a lifesaver. When master technician Jeff Olson heard the alert on his smartphone, he rushed two blocks to the address and asked if there was a medical emergency.
He found an infant who wasn’t breathing, and immediately got to work performing CPR.
The store clerk, who had already called for 911, couldn’t believe that some guy just came out of nowhere.
Olson is a volunteer EMT, and didn’t hesitate to take action.
“I don’t think I’ve ever done CPR on an infant before or even rescue breathing and when I got done I shook for about ten minutes ya know,” he said.
It’s the first time the local fire department has used PulsePoint.
