February 24, 20 15 <br />side at Hazelnut Park. New Brighton Police Officer DeDominces was monitoring the radio <br />channel and knew he was close to this emergency call in the City of Arden Hills. Offi cer <br />DeDominces volunteered to respond and arrived about 3 'l'2 minutes later and shortly after Mr. <br />Johnson had arrived with the AED. Officer DeDominces, who was the first emergency <br />responder on scene, utilized the Trinity Lutheran AED on Mr. Lund who was still not <br />breathing nor had a pulse. Officer DeDominces used his experience and training fo r these <br />situations and directed two "shocks" with the AED to Mr. Lund. Allina Paramedics, including <br />Barb Schley and Kimberly Hedger, and other emergency personnel arrived as lifesaving efforts <br />continued. Mr. Lund later regained a pulse and began breathing. Allina Medical transported <br />Mr. Lund to Abbott Northwestern Hospital with Officer DeDominces and Ramsey County <br />Sheriffs Deputy Luke Mickelson traveling with the ambulance to continue assisting with <br />breathing fo r Mr. Lund to continue the critical chain of survival. Mr. Lund was treated at <br />Abbott Northwestern and ultimately survived his cardiac arrest. Mr. Lund shared with us that <br />his cardiologist indicated the damage to his heart is minimal. Mr. Lund 's cardiologist attributes <br />this lack of damage to prompt and properly performed CPR, rapid response of emergency <br />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 <br />nearby, and a rapid, professional response by emergency personnel including Officer <br />DeDominces who responded to a call which he was not obligated, nor expected, to handle. The <br />chain of survival and care fo r Mr. Lund was performed so well that he returned to work on <br />Monday, February 2; only 23 days after suffering a full cardiac arrest . For these actions, the <br />New Brighton Department of Public Safe ty recognized Officer Brian DeDominces, Ramsey <br />County Deputy Luke Mickelson, Paramedic Barb Schley, Paramedic Kimberly Hedger, along <br />with community members Mr. Aaron Briggs, Mr. Grant Dawson, and Mr. Mike Johnson with <br />the New Brighton Department of Public Safe ty Life Saving Award. A round of applause was <br />offered by all in attendance. <br />Dave Madison, Allina Medical, noted there were 1,000+ cardiac arre st situations every day in <br />America. He stressed the importance of a quick response in a cardiac arre st situation. He <br />reported that the assi stance from Mr. Lund's friends and the chain of care provided by Police <br />and EMS saved his life and provided fo r the successful outcome. <br />Matthew Lund offered a heartfelt thanks to God and all involved in saving his life. He <br />appreciated his friends' quick thinking and the professionals who stepped in to provide him <br />further medical support. He also appreciated Trinity Lutheran fo r having an AED on site. <br />Councilmember Bauman was pleased that the communities' efforts to create a Heart Safe <br />Community were paying off. <br />Councilmember Jacobsen commended Mr. Lund 's friends and the Public Safe ty staff fo r their <br />partnership and professionalism. <br />Mayor Jacobsen agreed stating he believed New Brighton was one of the safety communities <br />in the country.
