When deputies Brandon Baker and Gust Teague responded, the worker, who was not identified, was unresponsive and his co-workers were performing chest compressions. The deputies determined the worker was in cardiac arrest and used their automated external defibrillator (AED) kit four times, in conjunction with four cycles of chest compressions and rescue breathing to help restart the man’s heart, according to a release from the sheriff’s office.
Medics from West Carrollton and Trotwood also responded to assist further.
The worker who was electrically shocked was treated and released from Miami Valley Hospital. He works as a contractor for Dayton Power & Light Co.
“Our deputies receive top-notch training and the dedication they demonstrate keeps our citizens safe,” Sheriff Rob Streck stated in the release. “Without their training and dedication to the job, the outcome that day would have been much more tragic.”
