Real Resuscitation Stories

An adult woman was watching her father (top exec for a local airplane manufacturer) as he was working on his hot-rod car in the driveway. She witnessed him collapse in the driveway, called 911, and began CPR. Brian Dotson was the Defibrillation technician on the call.

Combining her efforts of CPR, fire/EMS crews took over CPR and provided at least two shocks with an AED defibrillator. He was revived on scene, transported to a local hospital. He was discharged less than 5 days later. He returned to his aerospace career less than one month later.

Daughter claimed that though she hadn’t taken a CPR class in years, she recalled being told to Call 911, Push Hard, and Push Fast. FF Dotson was privileged to present her with a local lifesaver award months later!

April 2014:

 Stuart Johnson

Mr. Johnson was taking his garbage cans to the street when he collapsed in the ditch next to the road. A public works employee for the City of Sammamish stopped and began CPR efforts. Station 81 was less than a mile away.

A81 arrived, FF Dotson began compressions with the Lt. and the rookie firefighter was the defibrillation technician. This was our rookie firefighters first resuscitation and first use of a defibrillator. We saved him with one rapid shock from the defibrillator.

He spent 4 days in the hospital and returned to normal life activities and to his lovely wife.

Training Cpt **********,

I want to acknowledge Firefighter-EMT S*** W****, Zachary Zwaller, and Brian Dotson of ESFR for their care of ******* ******* who suffered cardiac arrest the early morning of Oct 3, 2020. As you recall, Mr. Libenson was napping when he began to experience severe chest pain. Upon assessment, he became unconscious and unresponsive in front of crews. The BLS crew provided care and with the assistance of Bellevue M-104 paramedics ware able to successfully resuscitate and  transport him to Overlake Hospital Medical Center. I am pleased to report that he was discharged home awake and alert, and with an opportunity to again enjoy life.

I appreciate your crew’s dedication to providing lifesaving care. I recognize that we are constantly working o deliver the best care while also evaluating promising approaches or technologies to push cardiac arrest survival even higher here in king County. Such efforts wouldn’t not be possible without the hard work and commitment of you and your colleagues. Mr. *** and I thank you.
