Ryan Vu was serving as a Junior Volunteer at this year's rodeo when he used an AED to revive a man that was not breathing.
FOX 26 Reporter Sherman Desselle spoke with the student about what happened and how his training kicked in without skipping a beat.Houston RodeoRyan Vu told FOX 26 that one evening while serving on the Junior Volunteer Committee in the health clinic, a man informed them about another person nearby experiencing seizure-like symptoms. The 20-year-old's EMT and first-aid training kicked in. Vu spotted the man lying on his side as he ran closer to the area.
The Tomball native ran back to the clinic to grab an automated external defibrillator, or AED, from the clinic. He said he never used the device on an actual person, but remembered how to use it. The man began breathing shortly after and was taken care of by local medics. Ryan says this rescue further prepared him for what he calls his life's work.
