Passenger Loses Consciousness on Jinju City Bus... Life Saved by CPR
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] A bus driver in Jinju, Gyeongnam, who quickly performed CPR on a passenger who suddenly lost consciousness while riding a city bus, is becoming a topic of conversation.
The 130 bus, which became the center of attention, was passing through Jungang Market on the evening of June 4th when a passenger suddenly lost consciousness. The driver stopped the bus and promptly performed CPR.
Thanks to more than 10 minutes of continuous emergency care and attention given to the collapsed passenger, the passenger regained consciousness and was handed over to the 119 emergency medical team. Other passengers on board were also able to breathe a sigh of relief after the tense moment.
In particular, Kim Kyung-deok, the crew member who is the protagonist of this good deed, had received training on safe fire extinguisher use and CPR safety education during the Jinju city bus company's internal training in November last year. This is known to have enabled him to respond appropriately and calmly in this urgent situation.
