All members of the team heard the emergency broadcast, and all members rushed out immediately for first aid. The backup staff Wang Jianji performed high-quality CPR, and the ambulance staff Shen Zhehong assisted in affixing an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and inserting an advanced airway for artificial respiration. .

Ambulanceman Zheng Yuhuang assisted the team leader in preparing IV injections. However, because the patient was old and presented with OHCA, and his blood vessels were depressed, after two injections, the IV was finally successfully injected, and epinephrine was given every 5 minutes.

4 people work together to send the patient to the ambulance and continue to use LUCAS (automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation machine) for rescue. Because only the team leader on the scene is the EMTP (advanced ambulance) personnel who can continue to give the pre-medicated medication, and personally go to the ambulance for the rescue. Subsequent drug administration was carried out, and the patient was immediately sent to Liuying Chimei Hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

After being sent to the hospital, the tug-of-war with the god of death was continued, and CPR rescue was carried out without interruption. After seamless rescue, the patient returned to spontaneous circulation at 16:39.
