Medics revive man after cardiac arrest at Wolverhampton golf club
A man was resuciated by ambulance crews after he suffered a cardiac arrest at a Wolverhampton golf club today.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to reports of a man suffering chest pain at The Wergs Golf Club, in Keepers Lane, Tettenhall just after 10am this morning.
An ambulance was first on scene and was backed up by a community paramedic, a paramedic area support officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford.
An ambulance service spokeswoman said: "When the ambulance crew arrived they found a man in his 50s near to the club house with chest pain.
"Whilst the crew began observations and started treatment, the man's condition quickly deteriorated and he went into cardiac arrest. "The medics commenced CPR and shocked his heart with a defibrillator. Thankfully, these quick actions meant that they managed to restart the man's heart.
"Once stabilised, the man was taken by land ambulance to New Cross Hospital for further cardiac care.
"In cardiac arrest cases, early CPR really can make the difference between life a death."
