Past Member & Resident of Pearl River : Ryan Wiley
On June 24th, PO Jessica Hunt was dispatched to the the tennis courts at White Plains High School on the report of a cardiac arrest with bystander CPR in progress.
There she met with off-duty WPFD Lt. Justin McGovern who was providing CPR to a 57 year old resident who had suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while playing tennis. PO Hunt applied an AED device which administered one shock. By this time, ESU Officers Ryan Wiley and Morgan Finnie arrived on scene and applied the Lucas Device (Automated CPR), initiated ALS interventions and transitioned the AED to the cardiac monitor.
The Lucas Device was used for approximately five minutes which resulted in a return of pulse and respiration, The resident was transported to WP Hospital by Empress EMS and was admitted to the ICU.
The immediate actions of all involved, their training and the availability of advanced emergency medical devices saved a man's life that day. Heroes - All of you.
