Today is Restart a Heart Day - we’re taking a moment to recognise the power of CPR and defibrillator training.

“He was gurgling and breathing out and I knew he wasn’t in a good way.”

Mark had just completed his three-day first aid refresher course when his colleague, Paul, collapsed at work.

Paul: I’ve got quite a stressful job as a warehouse supervisor, and I work long hours. I’d had some chest pains for a few days, but being a typical man I just ignored them.

I was in our reception area speaking to my colleague Michelle. As I turned to go, I started to say I felt unwell, but I didn’t even finish my sentence before I collapsed.

Mark: I was working in my office when I heard Michelle say that Paul had fallen over. I jumped up to check he was okay and I saw he’d fallen backwards, and his eyes were rolling back in his head.

I told everyone to leave the area immediately and performed some checks on him, checking his breathing and establishing whether he could hear me or not.

He was gurgling and breathing out and I knew he wasn’t in a good way.
I asked Michelle to get the defibrillator and I began CPR.

I’ve been first aid trained for 25 years but Paul and I had been on the same three-day refresher course a few months earlier. And now here I was using it to save his life. It’s a cliché but my training just took over.

In total, I shocked him three times with the defib, continuing CPR for about five or six minutes.

It seemed like I’d been working on him forever. I thought I’d lost him. But then he made a groan and opened his eyes. He was taken to hospital by the paramedics, where they found a blockage and had a stent put in his heart.

I’ve helped people who have been in accidents before, but this was my first life or death situation. The emergency responders said that if it hadn’t been for the defibrillator and the CPR, Paul wouldn’t have made it.
