Chungnam Firefighter Saves Cardiac Arrest Patient Who Collapsed in Vietnam with CPR

Gongju Fire Station's Fire Sergeant Lee Byung-jun Recognized for Good Deed During Vacation

A firefighter from Chungnam who was traveling in Vietnam was later revealed to have rescued a cardiac arrest patient who lost consciousness and collapsed.

On the 23rd of last month, Firefighter Lee Byung-jun of Gongju Fire Station, who was visiting a resort in Vietnam with his family, found a Korean woman in her 30s who had lost consciousness and collapsed at the swimming pool and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

After three minutes of CPR, Ms. A regained consciousness. Firefighter Lee urged, "Since she recovered from cardiac arrest, she must receive medical treatment at a hospital," before leaving the scene.

The firefighter's good deed became known after Ms. A's family posted a message on a travel review cafe and, after some inquiries, expressed their gratitude to Gongju Fire Station.

Firefighter Lee said, "When I received a thank-you message from the patient saying she had recovered her health, I felt extremely happy and joyful as a firefighter," adding, "I hope many people take an interest in CPR for their precious family and neighbors."
