The call reviewed here is a tough one, because the patient is a first responder. You’ll hear footage of Vermont police officer who, while conducting a pursuit, goes into sudden cardiac arrest. Paramedic Sarah Lamb and her colleagues, mostly volunteers from Richmond Rescue and other parts of rural Vermont, respond to this and save the officer’s life. We review some of the clinical and operational aspects of the call, as well as the significant issues that arise with calls like these: most importantly, the heightened emotion, the post traumatic stress and the importance of first responders’ mental health.
