Hockey player saved with CPR and AED after a heart attack

An Ottawa recreational hockey player is thankful for the quick action of his teammates and an automated external defibrillator for saving his life after a heart attack on the ice.

Brent Bradley, 61-years old collapsed while playing in a men’s league game at the Kanata Recreation Complex in west Ottawa. The players including an off-duty firefighter helped Bradley. Firefighter Pat Aubry initiated CPR and used a defibrillator to revive him.

CBC sports broadcaster Dan Seguin who is Bradley’s teammate also saw him collapse. He also started CPR when Aubry grabbed the defibrillator. The Kanata Centre is well-equipped for emergency situations with 2 defibrillators.

The immediate delivery of CPR followed by a defibrillator is a key factor in saving the life of an individual in such emergencies.
