A life was saved when the critical links of the life support chain were activated after a contract employee collapsed in the Pentagon Feb. 4.
An alert Marine, Col. Donald Revell, heard the man collapse and quickly called for help, then started Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Within moments, a Pentagon Force Protection Agency officer arrived with an automatic external defibrillator.
The DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic (DTHC), attached to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), was not yet open, but a frantic knock and an emergency call activated the medical professionals. A DTHC team quickly formed and rushed to the victim.
