Two runners collapsed and needed mid-race medical attention at the Monterey Bay Half Marathon on November 13. Until help arrived, runner and local cardiologist Steven Lome, D.O., administered life-saving measures to both male runners.
Lome, a cardiologist with Montage Medical Group in Monterey, California, tweeted that around mile 3 a runner went down, suffering cardiac arrest.
“Started CPR…people called 911. Defibrillator arrived in about 6 minutes, and rhythm was ventricular fibrillation (fatal arrhythmia). One shock and normal heart rhythm restored,” Lome tweeted.
