How two men saved the life of Glenview teacher using CPR/AED Northbrook Deerfield NorthShoreWeb
Fortunately for Glenbrook South High School math teacher Steve Farber, when it really mattered platform tennis became a contact sport.
He heard a commotion, the words,"heart attack," and that someone -- probably Gault -- was calling for an automated external defibrillator . "From there I got right next to and started getting the device ready to operate," Siau said."As was continuing to attend to him I was putting the pads on Steve and fired up the device and waited for the voice prompts.
Farber, of Glenview, was back teaching math after a week, though he felt good enough to return when he left the hospital four days after admittance. Time is critical because, as Farber said, for every minute that passes without defibrillation, the cardiac arrest victim's chance of surviving drops 10%. An article by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said currently nine out of 10 people who have cardiac arrest outside of a hospital die.
