Andrea Feldman completed a CPR class a couple of years ago.
As a result a 37-year-old employee from Dollar Rent a Car is still alive.
“I’d never seen what a heart attack looks like, but I could see he was struggling for breath,” said Feldman. “You just really don’t have a moment to think.”
She began administering CPR immediately and continued, solo, for six minutes. That’s an eternity in CPR time.
“For a professional, six minutes goes by very quickly but for someone who is doing it for the first time or watching it happen, time really goes slowly,” said Chief Chris Montera of the Western Eagle County Ambulance District. “It would probably feel like six minutes was 20 minutes or 30 minutes.”
According to Montera. “She truly saved someone’s life."
