Aubree Arneson

Aubree Arneson is being recognized for her clinical expertise, which led to the successful resuscitation of a cardiac arrest patient. Aubree was off duty and working out at the gym when the person on the exercise machine next to her collapsed.

Aubree immediately recognized the signs of cardiac arrest. She calmly had someone call 911, retrieved the gym’s AED, and initiated CPR with the help of a gym employee. Together, they applied the AED and performed CPR until an ambulance arrived, then assisted the crew in treating and transporting the patient. The patient had a return of spontaneous circulation shortly after the ambulance arrived. Aubree’s quick, calm, and precise response to this sudden cardiac arrest greatly improved the odds of this positive outcome.

Aubree has earned her EMT credential about six years, then attained advanced EMT licensure two years ago. She plans to continue her EMS education by taking the Intermediate EMT course when it becomes available. Aubree is also known for always helping her team members by taking on additional duties and sharing her skills and knowledge.
