Being in the right place at the right time | Matt’s sudden cardiac arrest story
03-Aug-2021
Studies show the rate of survival from sudden cardiac arrest decreases by 10% for every minute without intervention.1 Miraculously, after 80 minutes of continuous CPR with the LUCAS chest compression system and critical care from emergency caregivers, Matt regained his pulse and started breathing.
“From the nurses in the field that found me to the nurses and doctors at the hospital, I had the best care and best people (taking care of me). I’m thankful for that.”
