With permission from the patient to post, this man’s heart stopped just moments before he was scheduled to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery. He received emergency resuscitation, including CPR for 20-30 minutes, as we proceeded to emergently place him safely on the heart-lung machine.
Now 6 days later, he is going home. This life-changing event has finally convinced him to stop smoking, which was a significant risk factor for his heart and lung issues. He knows he’s one fortunate fellow, who was at the right place, at the right time, and to be blessed with a second chance at life!
