檀香山市长 Blangiardi 宣布「Pamela Foster 日」：表彰推广 CPR 与 AED 二十余年，机场项目已救回86人
位于夏威夷州檀香山市县的檀香山市长 Rick Blangiardi 宣布将表彰日定为「Pamela Foster 日」，表彰注册护士 Pamela Foster 多年来致力于提高心脏骤停存活率，长期推动心肺复苏（CPR）教育、自动体外除颤器（AED）普及与社区应急准备。Blangiardi 说：「有人发生心脏骤停时，每一秒都至关重要。Pamela Foster 把她的职业生涯奉献给让夏威夷更多人做好行动准备，她的工作已把救命的知识与设备带进全州各社区。」
Foster 2004年创办美国 AED 学院（AED Institute of America）。在其领导下，该机构实施了数百个公共场所除颤项目，在本地社区投放超过10,000台 AED，并每年为数万人提供 CPR 教育。2006年，她通过夏威夷州交通部机场管理局实施 Operation Stay'N Alive 项目，把 AED 推广到六个岛屿的13座机场，并提供免费 CPR 与 AED 培训。Foster 说：「自从在本地机场实施 AED 项目以来，已有86多名心脏骤停患者被救回。其中包括今天早上在 Daniel K. Inouye 国际机场的一名幸存者，一位好心人把 AED 贴在已无呼吸、无脉搏的患者身上，电击后把她救了回来。」
Foster 还于2010年创办夏威夷心脏基金会这一非营利组织，已为超过200,000名小学生提供免费 CPR 培训，并与夏威夷州教育部合作向师生提供培训。檀香山紧急服务部主任 Jim Ireland 说：「Pamela 的工作展示了教育与社区准备的力量。学会 CPR 和使用 AED，你也许有一天能救人一命。」在表彰仪式上，本地居民 Brian Lee 分享了 AED 如何在2024年1月救了他的命：当时他在檀香山市政厅参加市议会会议时停止呼吸。每年10月是全国心脏骤停意识月。（据檀香山市县政府新闻稿、经 EIN Presswire 发布整理）
Honolulu Mayor Blangiardi Proclaims Pamela Foster Day: Honoring Two Decades of CPR and AED Advocacy, With Airport Program Credited With 86 Saves
Mayor Rick Blangiardi of the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, recognized the day as "Pamela Foster Day" in honor of registered nurse Pamela Foster's extraordinary commitment to improving survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest through CPR education, AED accessibility and community preparedness. "Every second matters when someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest," said Mayor Blangiardi. "Pamela Foster has dedicated her career to making sure more people in Hawai'i are prepared to take action, and her work has helped put lifesaving knowledge and equipment into communities across our state."
Foster began her career as a registered nurse before founding the AED Institute of America in 2004. Under her leadership, the institute has implemented hundreds of Public Access Defibrillation Programs, placed more than 10,000 AEDs throughout local communities, and provided CPR education each year to tens of thousands of people. In 2006, she implemented Operation Stay'N Alive, an AED program through the Hawai'i Department of Transportation Airports Division that expanded to 13 airports on six islands and offers free CPR and AED training. "Since implementing the AED program at our local airports, more than 86 cardiac arrest patients have been saved," Foster said. "That includes a cardiac arrest survivor from this morning at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. A Good Samaritan placed an AED on the patient who was not breathing and had no pulse, shocked her, and brought her back to life."
Foster also founded the Hawai'i Heart Foundation in 2010, a nonprofit that has provided CPR training at no cost to more than 200,000 elementary school students, and her efforts expanded through a partnership with the Hawai'i Department of Education to train students and staff. "Pamela's work demonstrates the power of education and community preparedness," said Jim Ireland, Director of the Honolulu Emergency Services Department. "By learning CPR and how to use an AED, you may save a life someday." At the proclamation ceremony, Honolulu resident Brian Lee spoke about how an AED saved his life in January 2024 at Honolulu Hale, when he stopped breathing during a City Council meeting. October is recognized as National Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. (Compiled from a City and County of Honolulu news release distributed via EIN Presswire)
