The Oil City Derrick 10-09-1973 Tuesday 'Just Part Of Job' Ambulance Crew Saves Heart Victim By Jeff Farance Derrick Writer A Seneca RD 1 man whose heartbeat stopped after an apparent heart attack on Seneca Street yesterday was saved through resuscitation administered by two Community Ambulance Service attendants. Jacob Womer, who collapsed while walking alone on Seneca Street at about 9:50 am in front of the IOOF Building, apparently suffered a form of heart failure. City meter maid Margaret Shaner reportedly radioed to a police dispatcher for an ambulance after observing the man fall to the pavement. According to CAS secretary Mrs. Patricia Combs, the service received a call for an ambulance to transport a man who had "just died" at 9:52 and sent a car to the scene. TWO MINUTES later, attendants Dan Combs and Robert stahlman were examining the man and confirmed reports that Womer was not breathing and had no pulse. Within one minute, the two attendants had the man en route to Oil City Hospital, with stahlman driving and Combs administering cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, a technique designed to revive accident victims whose heartbeat and breathing have halted. At 9:58, just six minutes after the call had been received. Womer was in the emergency room of the hospital, with Stahlman continuing the revival process and both attendants aiding hospital personnel. Hospital officials later confirmed that Womer's heart had stopped as the result of an undetermined heart malfunction, adding that for a short time he had been "dead". While Combs and Stahlman denied any credit for the incident, referring to it as "just part of our job," CAS Manager Richard T. Mason had high praise for their actions. "If they had arrived enven seconds later, then they might have been unable to save him, " he asserted, pointing out an addition that continual updating of the medical and emergency training of all CAS attendants had provided the knowledge to save Womer. Each ambulance driver, in addition to having standard and advanced Red Cross first aid certificates, receives the CPT training demonstrated in yesterday's rescue. Currently, the group is attending a 10 - week emergency medical training course instructed by area doctors. Other training sessions with the area fire departments, city and state police and hospital staffs rounds out the emergency training to equip the men to deal with the wide variety of emergencies they encounter.
