“I lay on the ice unconscious and dead,” Fireovid said. As she tried to regain consciousness, she explained that she was worried she’d be unable to pull herself from the dream-like state in which she found herself. “About a minute after I was done with chest compressions, first responders arrived,” Coventry said. He added that after a minute or two, Fireovid still had no pulse. Before paramedics arrived, Coventry and other bystanders took off Fireovid’s equipment so she could be transferred with minimal struggle. “I did not wake up until the paramedics had been there,” Fireovid said. Coventry, Zarko and Fireovid each mentioned that finding an automated external defibrillator was difficult, yet would have helped greatly. “If we knew where an AED was prior,” Zarko said, “it would’ve made the difference if things hadn’t gone our way.” Coventry said there seems to be very little information detailing access to AEDs. “It would have helped if my teammates knew where the AED was and how to use it. That should have been the first source of help,” Fireovid said. “Although it is also
important to know CPR. I was lucky that a few of the boys had been trained and were able to help me out,” she added. Access to AEDs is crucial to the safety of students across campus. Fireovid’s close encounter with death and the difficulty of her peers in finding an AED underscores a serious issue the campus may face in ensuring the availability of such devices beyond merely complying to safety standards. While there may be signage indicating that AEDs are nearby, having more indication as to the exact locations would help save students in the future. Email HAYDEN SADLER cp@cardinalpointsonline.com
