We would like to acknowledge and congratulate Jessica Savo for a job well done.
On April 9th, Public Safety Telecommunicator Jessica Savo received a call from a resident in the Town of Onondaga. The caller had found her husband unconscious on the couch. Jessica started Emegency Medical Dispatch questioning and determined the man was unconscious with agonal respirations. Jessica immediately started CPR instructions using our ProQA pre-arrival interface. Through Jessica's constant encouragement and direction the wife performed chest compressions for approximately 8 minutes until first responders arrived. We received a letter from the family thanking Jessica for her actions that day and to let us know the man had recovered and was expected to be discharged from the hospital in a matter of days.
Jessica was interviewd for the Onondaga County employee newsletter
