Passer-by saves fainted woman on street
    2018-11-13  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A WOMAN who had fallen unconscious on the roadside was spotted by a man who was on his way home from a wet market last week. The man immediately called 120 before performing first aid on the woman under a doctor’s remote guidance, Shenzhen TV reported.

The man, surnamed Zhu, found the unconscious woman on Xinsha Road at about 7:30 a.m. He saw the woman’s face was purple and that she had lost consciousness.

Zhu called 120 at once. A moment later, the doctor in the ambulance called Zhu and informed him that the ambulance was rushing to the scene. He asked Zhu to put the woman into a supine position and guided him in judging the patient’s level of consciousness, breathing and heartbeat.

After Zhu confirmed that the patient had no signs of life, the doctor instructed him to perform chest compressions. Gradually, the patient’s complexion improved and her breathing resumed.

An ambulance arrived at the scene at 7:50 a.m. and the medical staff continued to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the patient. About 10 minutes later, the woman’s dilated pupils finally contracted.

Although the patient was still in a coma and not out of danger, her breathing and heartbeat were restored after the emergency treatment, said the report.

Ouyang Ling, an emergency physician at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, said Zhu had greatly reduced the time of follow-up rescue by getting in touch with the hospital quickly and giving the patient cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to the doctor’s instructions.

When residents find a patient who needs first aid, they can have a video chat with a doctor and receive remote guidance in providing on-site rescue while waiting for an ambulance, said Ouyang. (Zhang Yu)
