Emma Gray was walking into her high school with friends when she noticed a student on the floor experiencing a seizure. As an American Red Cross certified lifeguard, she assessed the situation and realized he had a laceration on his neck and was still seizing. Emma used the hoodie she was wearing to put pressure on the wound, while using the larger portion of the hoodie to cushion the student’s head. She remained with him and kept the pressure on his wound while waiting for help to arrive. When medics arrived, they informed her that his laceration to the neck was his carotid artery, and that if pressure was not held on the wound, the student could have died in minutes. Thanks to Emma’s training in First Aid and CPR through the American Red Cross Lifeguard training program, she was able to jump into action and help save her fellow schoolmate’s life.
