The family of 13 y/o Ewan who went into cardiac arrest while at football practice have thanked the coaches and emergency services who saved his life.

A fine example of inter-agency cooperation with Garda Info, Limerick Fire & Rescue and CFR groups including CRITICAL Charity on the scene!

In recent weeks, the communities of Greystones have proven the chain of survival works, not once - but twice. We were delighted to attend a First Responder appreciation evening, held at Rise at the Cove yesterday. 1/3

Because every second counts when a life is in danger, know what to do when you call 999.

The word FAST will help you recognise when a stroke is happening and what you need to do.

Call 112 or 999 immediately. The sooner a person gets treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to happen.

Yesterday AeroMed01 attended a RTC, landing was pictured by our own ICO crew from Limerick.

Any idea where this rural spot might be?

Call 112 or 999 immediately and ask for an ambulance if your child becomes unresponsive when choking.

The emergency calltaker will guide you through how to give CPR. If you see the object during CPR, remove it - never place your fingers in the mouth if you can't see the object.

The Pathfinder service aims to keep older people out of hospital and safely at home.

Delighted to be celebrating a year of the initiative and looking forward to many more! 🎂

Glaoigh ar 112 nó ar 999 láithreach má cheapann tú go bhfuil taom croí nó stróc ag teacht ort féin nó ar dhuine eile, nó go bhfuil tú féin nó duine eile go dona tinn nó gortaithe nó i mbaol báis.

A great example of the Chain of Survival.... A neighbour who learnt CPR at a community training course run by Edenderry CFR, provided Bystander CPR prior to the arrival of the AED and CFR group ahead of the ambulance. #LifesavingCommunities #ChainofSurvival

Fantastic morning in the NAS College in Tullamore today as we brought the NAS crew and the Edenderry CFR team back together with the family and friends of Robert Mazur who we're delighted to say is back to full health following a cardiac arrest and ROSC on Christmas morning.

Venous ThromboEmbolism (VTE, blood clots) is the most common preventable cause of in-hospital death.

The ability of ambulance practitioners to recognise and manage VTE symptoms may be the difference between life and death for a patient.
