At approximately 6:30, on March 29th, 2010 Central College Athletic Trainers, Dustin Briggs, ATC and Chris Viesselman, ATC, were summoned to a racquetball court to tend to a gentleman who had collapsed during a racquetball game. Their initial assessment revealed the gentleman's pulse was absent and he was not breathing. Viesselman and Briggs initiated CPR and sent for the facilities AED. They performed CPR for approximately 5 minutes and one shock was administered during that time. Upon arrival of EMS personnel a pulse was present and the victim had resumed breathing.
