His parents sat closer to the front of the plane, just a few rows behind the victim. Shah, because he is six-feet-8, was sitting by the emergency exit at the rear of the plane where he could have more legroom. As the plane began its decent to Pearson International Airport the man collapsed. Flight crew asked over the PA system for someone with medical training to help and Shah, who has received advanced medical first responder training through St. John Ambulance, came forward. He first assessed the man, whose fam- ily was nearby. He called for oxygen and a first aid kit. He was breathing, but it was very shallow and essentially he wasnt breath- ing enough, Shah said. When the first aid kit arrived, Shah checked the mans vitals, blood pressure, pulse and respiration. He said the blood pressure was unstable and the pulse was too low to sustain life, being at around 20 beats per minute, and it was inconsis- tent. There was also no defibrillator on board. A man who witnessed the victim col- lapse said the man had hit his head. Shah asked a flight attendant to secure the vic- tims head to prevent further injury as Shah checked for spinal damage. He asked the victims family if the man had a medical condition and if he was on any medication. He only received limited response. He also had limited resources in the first aid kit. I did what I could with what I had to work with and I put him on oxygen, he said. He also noticed the man had a large scar on his chest, which is usually a result of heart surgery such as a bypass. The victims family informed Shah that the man had suffered a heart attack and a stroke. When the family gave Shah the victims medicine pack he found a nitro- glycerine patch. I found the nitroglycerine patch that you generally apply on heart condition patients in case of emergency, he said. However, he added there are certain conditions and dangers to applying the patch. Nitroglycerine is basically a vassal dilator. It basically opens up everything in terms of your arteries and your blood flow. But if youre already on vassal dila- tors it can be dangerous because it can open it too much and it can cause you to bleed out internally, he said. Shah noted that nitroglycerine could be dangerous for even someone using Viagra, which is a vassal dilator. You have to ask these questions, so that youre not going to harm the patient even more but, unfortunately, the patient was completely unresponsive, he said. I asked the family to the best of my abilities, and I made the decision that if I didnt do anything then this gentle- man was going to die. He applied the patch and minutes later, Shah noticed the man became responsive to pain, which he checked through a pinch test. The victim began to come around and his vital signs began to stabilize. By the time the plane landed the victim was fully conscious. When the plane landed, paramedics were waiting at the gate and they took the victim away. Shah said that everyone should at least have first aid training, which includes CPR and the use of a defibrilla- tor. According to St. John Ambulance more than 35,000 Canadians die each year due to cardiac arrest. Shah was born in Pakistan, but before his first birthday, his family moved to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. When he was nine years old, his family moved to Canada and lived in Mississauga until they moved to Oakville six years ago. Shah has a private pilots licence and is currently enrolled in Seneca Colleges bachelor of sciences in aviation program. He joined St. John Ambulance about two years ago where he received training. St. Johns medical first response training is free in exchange for its gradu- ates doing volunteer medical work around the community, such as at public events.
