Cagliari, hero agent saves a twenty-year-old in cardiac arrest at the station
The young woman's heart no longer beat. The Polfer superintendent acted with a massage while waiting for the ambulance to arrive
Calm, order and cold blood. Thus a railway police superintendent saved the life of a young Sardinian twenty-year-old who fell ill in the Piazza Matteotti station in Cagliari.
In the early afternoon of Wednesday, some officers on duty at the airport were stopped by a passenger who immediately reported the problem: a girl, she said, had collapsed and some people were trying to revive her.
At that point the police superintendent, in charge of the railway compartment, approached the girl, sending everyone present away. He immediately noticed that he wasn't breathing, his heart wasn't beating and his arms were cold. Hence the call to 118.
Meanwhile the policeman, helped by a colleague and the woman who had drawn his attention, tried to get the woman to recover with a cardiac massage. Thanks to timely intervention and several compressions , the young woman regained consciousness and began to breathe independently again.
Then the ambulance arrived and the young woman was transported to the hospital for checks, after the evaluation of her vital parameters.
