During a game that took place in Surrey, North Dakota medical personnel were able to save the life of a high school football player who suffered from cardiac arrest.
Ole Svangstu, the son of Mitch and Heather Svangstu, was participating in a Divide County football game against Surrey Friday, September 10 when he jogged back to the huddle, collapsed and went into cardiac arrest.
“In the middle of the third quarter, the Divide County Football team was regrouping to set up for a play. On the way into the huddle, Ole Svangstu collapsed and went into cardiac arrest,” according to Parent Heart Watch.
“As panic set in throughout the stadium, the Surrey Ambulance, the Trinity sports medicine team, and a retired Minot paramedic sitting in the stands, immediately responded,”
