Seizing the Critical “Golden Four Minutes” to Save a Life

According to on-site surveillance, the athlete lost consciousness and showed no breathing or pulse after completing an offensive play. The emergency response team immediately initiated the Chain of Survival, which is the international standard for emergency cardiac arrest treatment:

  •  Immediate Response: The referee suspended the game instantly, and staff called for emergency help.

  •  AED Deployment within 15 Seconds: Medical staff arrived at the patient’s side within 15 seconds, directed someone to retrieve the Jousing AED, and called the national emergency number 120.

  •  Cardiac Arrest Confirmation in 10 Seconds: A quick assessment confirmed no breathing and no carotid pulse.

  •  CPR and Defibrillation within 4 Minutes: CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and a defibrillation shock were delivered. After just one AED shock, the athlete’s heart restarted, and spontaneous breathing and consciousness gradually returned.

  •  Continuous Monitoring: The team monitored the athlete closely until the ambulance arrived.

  •  Rapid Hospital Transfer: Within 8 minutes, the patient was safely transferred to the nearest hospital for further treatment.

 

Hospital doctors later diagnosed the incident as exercise-induced arrhythmia leading to cardiac arrest. Thanks to the rapid CPR and AED intervention, the patient is now stable and under observation.
