"A school nurse used a special medical device to help save a janitor who collapsed in her office this week.Tara Hayes, the nurse for Walter Haigh School in Salem, said she immediately knew something was wrong when the janitor came to her office.\"I saw him, and he wasn't feeling good,\" Hayes said. \"He kind of grabbed onto the recess cart, and I knew he was in trouble.Hayes asked someone to call 911 and then got the attention of some nearby teachers.\"I asked for help to get him to the ground and got the (automated external defibrillator),\" she said. \"He started to lose consciousness. I used the AED. That didn't work, so I had to use CPR and use the AED again, and that revived him.\"Paramedics were there within four minutes.\"Upon our arrival, he was somewhat conscious, and he did have a heartbeat and was breathing on his own,\" said Salem fire Assistant Chief Paul Parisi.All Salem schools have one or two AEDs. Parisi and Hayes said they believe that after Monday's events, all public places should have one on hand.\"It's actually very idiot-proof,\" Hayes said.\"Even if you are not trained in how to use an AED, the beauty of an AED is that anybody can use it,\" Parisi said.While paramedics gave Hayes credit for saving the 62-year-old custodian's life, she credited the AED.\"It worked. It saved his life,\" she said. \"It was a miracle, but it was a miracle of modern medicine.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
