Sažetak
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is always an important topic, which catches physicians and health professionals’ attention. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Organization, 15% of workplace fatalities are due to SCA. While the incidence of SCA among employees in other Emergency services, i.e. firefighters (1) and police (2) has been described in the literature, there are no recorded data or published studies about SCA among medical staff employees in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). We describe the rare case SCA in emergency medical technicians (EMT) while in workplace.
