Photo by MCC Aaron Strickland PCU Bush senior enlisted rescue shipyard worker By MCC Aaron Strickland NEWPORT NEWS — A master chief petty officer and chief petty officer assigned to the reactor department of Pre-Commissioning Unit George H. W. Bush saved the life of a Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard worker, April 23, by performing cardio pulmonary resuscitation. MMCM(SW) Allan Lowe and MMC(SW/AW) Jeff Hiser saw the worker a moment after he collapsed at the brow of PCU Bush at 7:20 a.m. “He was already down,” Lowe said. “I looked at Chief Hiser and asked him if he could perform CPR?” Hiser reported on board PCU Bush in January after three years duty teaching firefighting for the Navy, which includes knowing how to perform CPR. “(Lowe) and I were trying to get his attention,” Hiser said. “I yelled at the brow guard to call 911.” “Then we lost his pulse,” Lowe said. That’s when Lowe and Hiser used their training. “They did what they were trained to do,” said PCU Bush reactor officer, Capt. John Cordle. “They jumped right in and did the right thing.” “He was having trouble breathing and the color was out of him,” Hiser said. “I saw his ring and knew he had a family. I said to myself, ‘Lord, don’t let me mess this up.” The two then began CPR. Lowe took the worker’s pulse while Hiser performed chest compressions and rescue breathing to revive him. “It was definitely a team effort,” Hiser said. “(Lowe) was there, walking me through the whole thing.” The worker revived twice and was alert, but fell unconscious again each time. Hiser and Lowe performed CPR three times before Emergency Medical Technicians arrived. The EMTs were able to stabilize his breathing and heart rate before taking him to the hospital, where he is recovering. Cordle had nothing but praise for his two chiefs. “They didn’t give up and kept at it and they saved his life,” Cordle said. “I’m pretty proud of these guys. They were certainly in the right place at the right time.” The worker’s supervisor was also grateful for the duo’s lifesaving effort. “Words cannot say enough to express our thanks,” said NGNN director of Nuclear Engineering Test, Kent Williams. “You saved someone’s life — how cool is that?” Ø close window Ø
