A husband and wife who stopped their motorcycle ride to the Blue Ridge Parkway last summer to perform CPR on a complete stranger in Stokes County are set to be honored by the American Red Cross of the Piedmont during its annual Salute to Heroes event later this month.

Wesley and Katie Clodfelter， of Thomasville，NC，were headed north on US 52 just past King on July 1，2017， when they saw a carpulled overon the side of the road.

Katie Clodfelter is an ER nurse at High Point Regional and Wesley Clodfelter does critical care transport there.He also works for the Thomasville Fire Department.

Both say theyfelt compelled toact when they saw a man being pulled out of an automobile in obvious distress （痛苦）.They quickly learned from the man's wife that he had suffered a heart attack.

“We knew that he had no pulse， so I started chest compression （压缩），” Katie Clodfelter said.

“About 12 to 15 minutes， we did CPR before the ambulance had gotten there，” Wesley Clodfelter said.

He later learned that the patient and his wife were from Ohio，justpassing throughNorthwest North Carolina on vacation.Thanks totheir dedication and quick，trained lifesaving actions，the man lived and made it back home.

“We were just doing the right thing，”Wesley Clodfelter said and adding“anybody would have done it.”

“I feel like we were just in the right place at the right time with，somewhat of the right knowledge knowing what to do and how to handle a situation we found on the side of theroad，” Katie Clodfelter said.

Cultural Background

心肺复苏术（CPR）小常识

心肺复苏术 （CPR）是一个救助心搏骤停的急救措施，结合胸外按压、开放气道与人工呼吸，以努力保持受救助人完整的大脑功能，直到采取进一步措施，恢复自发性血液循环。

成人胸外按压深度至少5厘米，同时避免按压深度超过6厘米，按压频率为每分钟至少100到120次。救助者还可以通过吹气进入主体的口腔或鼻子（口到口复苏）或使用将空气推入主体肺部 （机械通气）的装置，提供人工通气。成人心肺复苏按压与通气的比例一般为30∶2。目前对未经训练的救援人员仅推荐一种简单的心肺按压方法。然而，对于儿童，只做按压可能会导致更糟糕的结果。
