Kat and Adam Dodd are now starring in a TV advert to encourage others to learn the life saving skill
Adam, 31, a footballer for Bamber Bridge FC, was struggling to breathe and was battling for oxygen. The breathing, known as agonal breaths, is a sign of heart attack, but thanks to Kat's swift reaction, Adam survived to tell his story.
“If you had asked me how I would have responded before, I would have assumed I’d be too scared," she said. "In the moment, there was just no other choice – I had to do everything I could to save Adam’s life.” Adam now lives with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator , a small device which can help treat dangerously abnormal and life threatening heart rhythms which can cause a cardiac arrest. Football legend David Ginola also talks about his own experience of having a cardiac arrest.
