In Taxenbach (Pinzgau/Salzburg), the police likely saved the life of an 18-year-old tourist from Belgium on Saturday.

The woman's boyfriend woke up around 7:00 AM in their shared holiday accommodation in the town and noticed his girlfriend lying motionless beside him. He immediately called emergency services, and just a few minutes later, a police patrol from Taxenbach was in the apartment. At that point, no vital signs were detectable in the Belgian woman.

Police Officers Performed Resuscitation

The policewoman and her two colleagues immediately started with chest compressions and ventilation. They then used the defibrillator from the patrol car and continued the resuscitation until the arrival of the emergency doctor. The woman was then taken over by the emergency doctor and paramedics and brought to Schwarzach hospital. According to information from the hospital, the condition of the 18-year-old patient is likely stable. As a police spokeswoman told the APA, 60 patrol cars in the state of Salzburg are equipped with defibrillators.
