"Shouldn't all police cars carry AEDs? Many times they are the 1st responders". Congrats to these two Hibbing Officers and their Police Dept. for deploying AEDs in the squad cars...
Physicians say two Hibbing cops are the reason one patient is alive, after they did just that on an emergency call last week.

Automated External Defibrillator restarts the heart of a 51 yr. old woman running in the Detroit Marathon.
A 51-year-old woman from Rochester who was running her first marathon during the race collapsed with a heart problem at 7:50 a.m. The runner was near the race's second-mile marker, located by the toll plaza at the Ambassador Bridge, when she collapsed, said Rich Harshbarger, a spokesman for the marathon's organizer.
Bystanders came to the woman's aid and performed CPR until paramedics arrived, he said. "The ambulance was there in about four minutes," he said.
Harshbarger said the medical technicians performed CPR. They also used an automated external defibrillator to restart her heart, he said.

According to sources the school had an AED but Littleton Fire Dept was on scene in minutes and began Advanced Life Support and was able to bring the boy back after a few shocks. The chain of survival worked like a charm.

As they started to run, Johnny fell over.
"He fell over. We thought he was joking," Crowley said. "Taylor flipped him over and he was blue. His lips were blue. You could tell he wasn't breathing."

12 year old boy drops in Cardiac Arrest during his soccer game, Dad grabs the school defibrillator and brings him back to life! This gets me thinking, do soccer fields that are not on school properties have AEDs? The answer most likely is no! I know our soccer fields don't have them. All soccer coaches should carry portable AEDs, end of story. This story is another amazing one! Congratulations to this young boy and his father!
