Five minutes in November: TLU athletic trainer, students save a life Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – In this season of giving back and sharing kindness and favor, here’s a heartwarming and uplifting story out of Texas Lutheran University. It was just another Saturday in November. The TLU women’s basketball team was playing Howard Payne on the home court at Memorial Gymnasium. The first half of the game had gone smoothly—in fact, the Bulldogs would end up rebounding from the loss of their previous game and win the day 78-62. But shortly before the start of the second half, one of the game officials collapsed. “I first remember hearing yelling and panic amongst the players warming up, as well as the crowd at the game,” said TLU Athletic Trainer Nicole Curtis. When she noticed the man on the ground on the other side of the court, she and Efrain Huerta, the senior kinesiology-athletic training major who was working the game with her, rushed over. Within moments, the two conducted a primary assessment, determined that
CPR was necessary, and activated EMS. As it happened, a healthcare provider was among the spectators, and also came down to assist with CPR. “Efrain was prepared with the AED on hand as I delivered five rounds of compressions and two shocks using the AED,” said Curtis. “The silence that filled the gym during what seemed like a really long time ended in a gasp of relief as the patient regained responsiveness.” Cameron Salas, another athletic training student in TLU’s master’s program who was scheduled to work the men’s basketball game that evening, heard about what was going on.
