The crew responded to the school, arriving about three minutes later and landing on the basketball courts nearby the patient. They found that the teenager’s friends had already begun CPR and had found an automated external defibrillator (AED) device stationed at the courts.
The sheriff’s helicopter crew airlifted the patient to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
“Outstanding work by these teenagers to not only think quickly, but to also remain calm which ultimately helped save their friends life,” read the caption on the sheriff’s department’s post.
