Granada High School Student Saves Child's Life
Jake Salinas helped perform CPR and chest compressions on a little girl.
Granada High School senior Jake Salinas was about to go on break when he was forced to make a critical decision.
A young girl was having a seizure and had agonal breathing, an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by gasping or labored breathing, said a release from the Tri-Valley Regional Occupational Program where Jake is currently enrolled in the Medical Occupations ROP course.
"Jake immediately ran to the child," the release said. "Jake and another co-worker, both trained in CPR, began chest compressions and rescue breathing until the paramedics arrived."
