Abstract

A 59-year-old man with no specific medical or family history complained of chest pain and became unconscious. A member of his family, who was a witness, called 119 and gave him dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, followed by defibrillation using an automated external defibrillator placed in his apartment. Afterward, he was given two sessions of defibrillation by the 119 emergency squad, then transferred to an emergency medical center with the return of spontaneous circulation. The patient was discharged with cerebral performance category (CPC) 1 15 days later. While dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation is at its beginning stage in South Korea, this case seems to demonstrate its effectiveness. Moreover, this case suggests it can be particularly useful for helping untrained witnesses use an automated external defibrillator, which may have important implications in regions in which there are delayed responses of the 119 emergency squad to the site. It is also important to develop a plan for improving witness access to and quantitative supply of the South Korean public access defibrillation (PAD) program.

59세의 기왕력 및 가족력에 특이사항이 없는 남자가 가슴통증을 호소하다 의식을 잃고 쓰러지자 이를 목격한 가족이 119에 신고하였다. 응급의료상담원의 도움에 의해 목격자가 심폐소생술을 시행하였고 거주 중인 아파트에 설치된 자동심장충격기를 이용하여 제세동 1회를 시행하였다. 이후 도착한 119구급대에 의해 제세동 2회 실시 후 자발순환회복되어 인근 응급의료센터로 이송되었으며, 저체온 치료 15일 후 대퇴수행분류 1점으로 퇴원하였다. 현재 우리나라의 응급의료전환상담원 도움에 의한 목격자 심폐소생술 및 제세동의 시행은 시작 단계이지만 본 증례를 통해 충분한 효과를 볼 수 있다고 판단되며, 이에 따라 응급의료전화상담원의 적극적인 자동심장충격기 사용 안내와 그에 맞는 체계적인 교육이 필요하다. 특히 훈련받지 않는 목격자의 자동심장충격기의 사용을 도울 수 있고, 119구급대가 현장까지의 반응시간이 지연되는 원거리 지역에서 중요한 의미를 가질 것으로 사료된다. 또한 우리나라 PAD 프로그램의 양적인 보급뿐만 아니라 목격자의 접근성을 높일 수 있는 방안이 될 것이다.
