Every minute counts. On World Restart a Heart Day, it’s important to remember that CPR saves lives. When someone has a sudden cardiac arrest, immediate action as a bystander gives that person the best chance to survive with a good neurologic outcome. Earlier this week, the U-M Health Frankel Cardiovascular Center and Department of Emergency Medicine celebrated six cardiac arrest survivors. They were all joined by health care providers and first responders who played key roles in their care.

Just over one month ago, U-M sophomore Ethan King marked one year since he collapsed on a run during his first week of college. With timely CPR intervention that included two bystanders, a student and a physician, King made it to the hospital and was able to recover from his cardiac arrest. Over the last year, he has been incredibly active. In school, King started studying aerospace engineering. He continues to run with Michigan Club Running and joined soccer and sailing teams. He remains involved in Cardiac Arrest Preparation, a CPR club he co-founded that has trained over 350 students. King has also traveled the world, sailing in the Bahamas with his family and visiting South Korea and Scotland with friends. “I am incredibly grateful for this extra year and so happy that I have been able to make these memories with the people close to me," King said. October 16 is World Restart a Heart Day, a global initiative to increase awareness about bystander CPR. On October 14, the University of Michigan Health Frankel Cardiovascular Center and Department of Emergency Medicine will celebrate Ethan and other recent survivors of cardiac arrest, along with several providers who participated in their care.
