Scots boy goes into cardiac arrest in swimming pool in UAE as traumatised mum gives him CPR
A Scottish mum who performed chest compressions on her 11-year-old son after he stopped breathing following a cardiac arrest in a swimming pool has said it was "one of the most traumatic experiences of my life".
Leonardo owes his life to his mum and to the speedy arrival of an ambulance and the police, with medics using a defibrillator to stabilise him before taking him to hospital. Leonardo luckily survived and Martina said that she now feels "exceptionally lucky". She said that she continued to perform chest compressions until the police and the mandarins arrived. Martina added: "By then, people from the building had gathered around and were helping us out."
