On the second floor of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, doctors performed surgery on a man after his heart stopped. About it informs BFM TV channel.
A visitor went into cardiac arrest on Friday 28 April. The paramedics who arrived at the call decided to urgently operate on the man. He underwent ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), a special treatment that uses an artificial heart and lung to provide temporary life support to the patient.
Two hours later, a man with signs of life was taken to a teaching hospital in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
Earlier it was reported that a child in Tenerife needed psychological help after a British tourist drowned in front of him. The victim was pulled out of the sea by a man and a woman who turned out to be a nurse and, while waiting for an ambulance, tried to save the Briton’s life by doing artificial respiration.
