This is beyond unforgiveable!!! This is why, at Rockwall CPR, our classes review Emergency Action Plans! You must act quickly!
"On Feb. 20, video viewed by Kaleiah’s family shows the sophomore walking out of class with her friend, when suddenly she stumbles into the lockers and collapses on her back at 1:09 p.m., the lawsuit says.
A group of school personnel immediately responded, but several minutes passed before anyone checked her pulse, according to the complaint. Then a nurse brought a cup of water and splashed some on her, as staff shook and stroked her shoulders, family said after viewing the video.
A school resource officer then requested a medic for a head injury, the lawsuit says. At 1:18 p.m., nine minutes after the teen’s collapse, the officer began performing CPR for about 17 seconds before abandoning the task, according to the complaint. None of the school staff, including the nurse, continued CPR or tried to get any of the three automated external defibrillators on campus until emergency personnel arrived, according to the lawsuit.
“Kaleiah lay unaided and dying on the hallway floor,” the lawsuit says. A teacher patted her leg, and staff moved her from her back to her side a couple of times, the complaint says. At 1:23 p.m., medical personnel arrived, but by that point, the teen had no pulse and wasn’t breathing, according to the complaint. They began CPR, and eventually, 18 minutes after the teen’s collapse, the assistant principal brought an AED that appeared not to work, the lawsuit says.
Kaleiah was taken to a hospital, where medical staff continued to try to save her until she was pronounced dead at 2:43 p.m., according to the lawsuit."
