Two Paris Paramedics have been honored for resuscitating a patient who had suffered a total cardiac arrest, was not breathing, and had no pulse. As a result, They awarded Roger Barnes and Lauren Dollins the Paris EMS “Cardiac Arrest Save” Challenge Coin. They transported the patient to Paris Regional Medical Center Emergency Department and ICU, then walked out of the hospital three days later with no side effects.
