Survivor: Ian
Date of Event:
Rescuer(s):Jacquie Meadows
Medic Jacqueline Meadows was off duty at home in her rural Kern County community when she received a PulsePoint Professional Responder alert. Someone at a house just down the street was experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
She quickly made her way to the home and found her way to the backyard, where wife, Megan, was performing dispatch-guided CPR on her husband, Ian. Jackie took over, delivering high-quality CPR while directing Megan to unlock the house and prepare for the arrival of the fire department.
When fire crews arrived, they recognized Jackie as a colleague. She continued assisting as they established an airway, delivered two shocks, and prepared for an airlift, knowing the nearest cardiac facility was more than an hour away.
A Second Life Saved Through Readiness
This was Jackie’s second PulsePoint alert and her second confirmed life saved while using the app.
