Venice, calle closed to help a 50-year-old tourist hit by a heart attack
The episode tonight in salizada San Giovanni Grisostomo. Local police officers and Suem health workers were on site
VENICE. Moments of fear tonight in the central salizada San Giovanni Grisostomo, a stone’s throw from Campo San Bortolomio, for an emergency intervention by Suem against a man, about fifty years old, collapsed to the ground. Masked for Carnival, the man finds himself in the company of a friend when he was seized by a heart attack a few meters away from the Da Tiziano bar.
On the spot, within a few minutes, first the local police officers and then the Suem health workers intervened. To facilitate the intervention, the street has been delimited and closed to the passage.
Interminable minutes followed, during which the doctors first applied the heart massage to the man and then the defibrillator. Before being rushed to the Angelo’s hospital, in the Hemodynamics ward, the man was loaded onto a stretcher wearing a thermal blanket.
