Cameron Hubley B次元官网网址� in the presence of Pamela Morgan, 82 B次元官网网址� received the BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) Vital Link Award last week. The award was created to honour the B次元官网网址渟kilful actionsB次元官网网址� of one or more bystanders at a cardiac-arrest emergency.

Hubley was working at the mall last March when he was alerted to a collapsed woman.

B次元官网网址淭he moment they gave me the call, I turned around and I could see her on the ground,B次元官网网址� Hubley told Peace Arch B次元官网网址 Tuesday. B次元官网网址淚 knew something was really bad since she wasnB次元官网网址檛 moving. I started sprinting towards her.B次元官网网址�

Morgan had suffered a heart attack. Hubley said that when he arrived, she was bleeding from her head and turning blue.

B次元官网网址淲hen the heart attack happened, she immediately went backwards into the floor and hit her head. I made sure my crew got me the med kits. Her face was going blue, no breath was coming out. There was basically no pulse,B次元官网网址� Hubley said, noting he directed a bystander to get a nearby defibrillator.

B次元官网网址淚 started doing chest compressions, made sure that I kept that going on until the AED machine (defibrillator) came by.B次元官网网址�

Once it arrived, Hubley directed a bystander to continue CPR while he set up the machine.

B次元官网网址淥nce the AED machine read that she needed a shock, I immediately did it once it was ready,B次元官网网址� he said.

Paramedics arrived shortly and took over. Morgan was rushed to hospital B次元官网网址� with a pulse B次元官网网址� and given life-saving surgery.

B次元官网网址淚 was a little unnerved afterwards,B次元官网网址� Hubley told PAN.

B次元官网网址淭he next day, I was wondering what happened to her. But eventually, I was notified that she was OK and that she was alive.B次元官网网址�

After Morgan recovered, she took Hubley out for dinner to White Spot.

B次元官网网址淪he was completely grateful to me when we met,B次元官网网址� Hubley said. B次元官网网址淲e sat down and talked about the incident and everything else. She bought the dinner just to thank me.B次元官网网址�

MorganB次元官网网址檚 daughter, Donna, said the family will never be able to thank Hubley enough.

B次元官网网址淚 got to say, the first time I got to see him, I went down to the mall to thank him. I actually bursted in tears and I couldnB次元官网网址檛 talk,B次元官网网址� Donna said. B次元官网网址淚f the heart attack happened anywhere elseB次元官网网址� It could have happened at home with my dad, she might not have survived it.B次元官网网址�

The Morgan family submitted a to PAN last March, thanking both Hubley and B次元官网网址渢he fact that the mall has an automated external defibrillator on site.B次元官网网址�

According to BCEHS, for every minute that passes without help, a personB次元官网网址檚 chance of surviving a cardiac arrest drops by about 10 per cent.
