[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] A citizen whose precious life was saved by 119 paramedics visited the fire station with their spouse to express gratitude.

According to Gwangsan Fire Station in Gwangju on the 15th, A (59), who was unconscious and collapsed in a one-room building in Wolgok-dong, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City at around 10:40 a.m. on the 18th of last month, was in a very critical condition with no breathing or pulse due to cardiac arrest when the paramedics arrived.

Three paramedics, including Shin Ikdu from Wolgok 119 Safety Center, who received the report, immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation using an automated external defibrillator (AED) upon arrival at the scene, restoring the patient’s pulse and breathing through prompt and accurate emergency treatment.

Then, under medical guidance, they secured an intravenous line for the patient who regained spontaneous breathing and safely transported him to the hospital.

After completing hospital treatment, A and his wife visited the paramedics that day to express their gratitude.

Chief Moon Gisik said, “I am thankful to the paramedics who delivered warm news amid the urgent situation of fighting nationwide to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to provide high-quality emergency services to ensure there are no gaps in protecting the lives of the people.”
