G:\CHIEF\Council Reports\2015\Lund Lifesaving Awards.doc <br />continue assisting with breathing for Mr. Lund to continue the critical chain of survival. Mr. Lund was <br />treated at Abbott Northwestern and ultimately survived his cardiac arrest. <br /> <br />Mr. Lund shared with us that his cardiologist indicated the damage to his heart is minimal. Mr. Lund’s <br />cardiologist attributes this lack of damage to prompt and properly performed CPR, rapid response of <br />emergency personnel, rapid intervention of EMS, and the use of an AED. This chain of survival was <br />successful in part due to recent CPR training by friends, a community AED that was located nearby, and a <br />rapid, professional response by emergency personnel including Officer DeDominces who responded to a <br />call which he was not obligated, nor expected, to handle. The chain of survival and care for Mr. Lund <br />was performed so well that he returned to work on Monday, February 2; only 23 days after suffering a full <br />cardiac arrest. <br /> <br />For these actions, the New Brighton Department of Public Safety recognizes Officer Brian DeDominces, <br />Deputy Luke Mickelson, Paramedic Barb Schley, Paramedic Kimberly Hedger, along with community <br />members Mr. Aaron Briggs, Mr. Grant Dawson, and Mr. Mike Johnson with the New Brighton <br />Department of Public Safety Life Saving Award this 24th day of February, 2015. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />__________________________ <br />Robert J.
