When a man on a flight was suddenly slumped over in his seat, his face completely purple, a Baltimore nurse and her boyfriend stepped up to help – and saved his life.
Emily Raines, an acute care nurse at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, was on Southwest Flight 553 when she and her boyfriend heard a call from a flight attendant for anyone with medical experience on the plane - as a fellow passenger was experiencing a medical emergency.
"On our way up there I was trying to pregame, like, 'Hey, if we have to do compressions, I need you to do compressions. I'll take care of everything else,'" Raines recalled. After performing multiple rounds of compressions, Raines was able to revive the man roughly seven minutes before the plane landed."I would say about seven minutes before we landed is when we got him back to life," she said.Raines and her boyfriend received enthusiastic high-fives from their fellow passengers for their heroic efforts.
