“It is not a matter of beating one’s chest, it is necessary to put the dots on the ‘i’s’ and for the reality of what happened to come to light,” insists the doctor
Sergio Salgado, a doctor from 061 who treated the patient in cardiorespiratory arrest during the Cadiz-Barcelona matchhas claimed this Monday that in the Nuevo Mirandilla stadium there should be a “self-sufficient” sanitary device” so as not to “depend” on external resources. “Only with the resources present in the stadiumthat patient I never would have gotten ahead“, The doctor has indicated through a social network.
Salgado clarified that in the city of Cadiz, last Saturday afternoon at the time of the game, there was only one emergency team of 061 and two SUAP teams, without “none of them” being in the stadium.
The first thing I want to say is what I write here I do as an individual and I do not speak on behalf of the service where I work, nor is it my intention to point out or harm anyone. I’m not looking for prominence or notoriety. I don’t need any of these things.

“We are public resources to serve the entire general population,” said the doctor, so if they had been “busy attending to another service,” the fan who suffered a heart attack in the 81st minute could have seen his situation aggravated.and we would be talking about a drama“, he stressed.
“It’s not a matter of beating your chestit is necessary to put the dots on the ‘i’s and for the reality of what happened to come to light”, insisted Salgado. “My head does not stop thinking, not about what happened, but about what could have happened and in what may happen in the future”, warned the health professional.
Salgado specified that upon arriving at the south end stands, while “several fans” performed “chest compressions” on the patient, a medical colleague who came as a spectator, “full of bitterness tells us: ‘thankfully you have arrived, there are no stuff for nothing.”
There was no material for peripheral venous access, if there was, it had not been used. Was there a defibrillator? Yes, there was a defibrillator monitor, but it was not being used properly. The DESA that launched #Ledesma I didn’t get to see him in the stands. I do not know if it was rejected as there was already one

The person in charge of 061 who was on duty on Saturday thanked them for their collaboration, but recalled that one must not “act on their own” or “panic” in such a situation, since the material they had had been stolen by a ” hero” (so ironically called Salgado).
The “hero” of the afternoon decided to take our material WITHOUT permission to attend to the cameraman in the grandstand, as if there was no one else in the stadium capable of doing that function, implicating players and putting the patient’s life at serious risk. reanimated pic.twitter.com/U7UiY8wZs7
