Sarah Knight feels lucky to be alive
The couple were out watching the latest Avatar film at a cinema in Didsbury when the mum-of-two suddenly slumped over in her chair.
Paramedics arrived at the scene within minutes and managed to resuscitate Sarah with five defibrillator shocks. “It’s very strange that we decided to go to the cinema that day. I feel slightly incredulous that we were so lucky to be in the position we were in.”Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops pumping. If this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. Cardiac arrests are caused by certain types of abnormal heart rhythms that prevent the heart from pumping blood.
Two weeks after the incident, on March 3, Sarah had an operation to fit a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator . The devices work by delivering an electric shock to the heart if its rhythm is abnormally disturbed, protecting from sudden cardiac arrest. “I’m super fortunate and super unfortunate at the same time. I never would have thought that something so profoundly serious could have happened to me. It feels particularly surreal.
