This will cause pain and symptoms. A severe heart attack can lead to SCA but most of the time
they are separate events.
Treatment. Time is Critical. The success of resuscitation drops about 10% every minute. After 10
minutes in cardiac arrest, a person's chance of survival is only about 2 %. Fast response. Early
Identification of Cardiac Arrest. Good CPR — either automated or manual. AED (Automated
External Defibrillator) — Early Defibrillation. Transport from the field to the hospital.
A new key tool in the toolbox is the Lucas 2 Device. "Game Changer ". In conjunction with an
AED. Allows us to do more with less. Rather than 10 people in a house, we can operate with 6 or
less. Forefront — Technology. Cooperation between HCMC and the departments. Open House
Demonstrations.
Fire Chief Sitarz provided three success stories where all three people were legally dead and now
have been given a second chance.
Mayor Faust stated the Lucas 2 device was obtained through fundraising. The Council has
always been very supportive of the training the fire department goes through and will continue to
be supportive. St. Anthony is a Heart Safe Community.
