Running Club Members Save Life of Man Who Collapsed During Workout

A man's life was saved thanks to the swift actions of running club members.

Last Sunday morning at the Gunsan National University track, members of a running club discovered a man who suddenly collapsed behind them with a gasp.

The person who collapsed was a man in his 30s from Bangladesh.

The members immediately called 119, and following medical guidance from emergency dispatchers, took turns performing chest compressions without stopping until paramedics arrived.

Paramedics who rushed to the scene immediately provided advanced emergency care. As a result, the patient's spontaneous circulation was restored just 13 minutes after the emergency call, and he was transported to the hospital.

The fire department explained that the prompt reporting and the cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed before paramedics arrived played a major role in saving the patient's life.
