Siblings save sister using TV CPR Tips
Within days of the new reality show Triple Zero Heroes going to air, siblings
Kristian, 10, Eva, 9 and Zoe, 12 used the skills they learnt on Triple Zero
Heroes to revive their sister Phoebe, 3 who nearly drowned in their backyard
swimming pool.
Kristian and his sisters were all playing in the pool when they noticed their youngest sibling lying face down in the water at their Carool home near Tweed Heads. The three siblings dragged her from the pool and noticed she wasn’t breathing. Kristian commenced CPR and says that he learnt this from watching the show Triple Zero Heroes only days before.
Tweed paramedics raced to the scene and little Phoebe was taken to Tweed Heads Hospital and has since made a full recovery.
The first episode of Triple Zero Heroes that aired on Sunday 8 February featured a story on 3 year old Jaidyn who was found at the bottom of his swimming pool by his mother and grandmother who performed CPR prior to the arrival of paramedics.
The call made by Jaidyn’s mother was harrowing and the advice given by Ambulance call taker Lisa was vital in saving Jaidyn’s life.
The first show was watched by 1.73 million viewers and was the third highest rating program for the evening.
Triple Zero Heroes is a new reality show that re-enacts real life emergencies and talks to the people involved as they reflect on the actual Triple Zero (000) call recordings. Call takers and paramedics from Ambulance Service of NSW along with our patients and their families will tell their stories. It airs on Sunday nights at 8pm on the Seven Network.
