| September 18, 2013 at 0827 hours, Huntingtown VFD Ambulance 69 was alerted as the 2nd due ambulance to Ridgeway Terrace in Prince Frederick, MD for the person experiencing chest pains. Ambulance 69 & Medic 102 arrived on location and found a mid-aged male experiencing the same. During the assessment & treatment, the patient was placed on a cardiac monitor. It was quickly determined the patient was suffering a heart attack. Crews began to follow the STEMI protocol and consulted with Southern Maryland Hospital. While removing the patient from the house via stretcher, the patient went into full cardiac arrest. Transport location was quickly changed and while enroute to Calvert Memorial Hospital, a pulse was regained and remained. Shortly after arriving, the patient was flown to Washington Hospital Center. Outstanding job to all members on the scene! Ambulance 69: Technician: Timothy Bevard Officer & EMT: Michael Gaylor |
