During this Monday morning, recognition was given to four rescuers belonging to the Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Concordia, who recently carried out key actions to save lives, performing with expertise and professionalism in critical moments.
The Secretary of Health, Diego Sauré, led the ceremony and made the presentation in the Assembly Hall of the Municipal Palace, detailing that it involved “a pair from a SIMES (Municipal Integral Emergency Health Service) ambulance, composed of the driver and the nurse, who attended to a sudden cardiac arrest at a residence, and thanks to the expertise of the rescuers, the life was saved.”
For Sauré, the key was “having trained personnel who know what they have to do and who have the corresponding elements and supplies. I believe this must be the first time in the history of public health, not only in Concordia but in the province, I would say, that a pair of driver and nurse - without doctors - can perform such an action,” he highlighted.
On the other hand, the official mentioned that the recognition was awarded to a pair of lifeguards “who performed the first water rescue of an 11-year-old girl at Los Sauces beach.”
THE CASES
Esteban Techera and Jésica Cáceres belong to SIMES and last Monday, December 23, they carried out the intervention for a resident of Concordia who was in crisis, in the middle of a cardiac arrest. Their prompt intervention was crucial for the proper management of the situation and for the victim to save his life.
In this case, the use of the automated external defibrillator (AED) is highlighted, which is a device used to treat an arrest, as it can help restore a person's heart rhythm.
The action was carried out during pre-hospital care, inside the ambulance, which ultimately allowed for the timely care of the patient.
On the other hand, lifeguards Micol Reinaudo and Lautaro Cáceres were the ones who participated in the rescue last Thursday, December 26, at Pier 1 of Los Sauces beach.
