    Emergency medical personnel navigate Mardi Gras crowds in New Orleans

    Over 10 days of Carnival, EMS responded to 2,024 calls for service citywide ranging from stubbed toes to gunshot wounds to patients in full cardiac arrest.

    Lundi Gras festivities were in full swing last Monday when a middle-aged Mandeville man suffered a massive heart attack in Woldenberg Park. The man had no history of cardiovascular trouble. But now his heart had stopped completely.

    An emergency medical technician from the Aquarium of the Americas was the first to reach him, employing a portable defibrillator to shock his heart. In less than two minutes, paramedics with New Orleans EMS arrived by bicycle and mini-ambulance to continue his care. Soon, he was transported to Tulane Medical Center, where he underwent double bypass surgery.

    The next day, on Mardi Gras morning, a woman a block off the parade route also went into cardiac arrest. The route to her Uptown house was blocked on three sides by parades and crowds, but an EMS sprint car and paramedics on bicycles got there and restored her pulse, sustaining life until an ambulance could arrive.
