However, the preliminary reports filed thus far indicate the SFD field crews responded to 13 medical events on the course from PedMed Teams. The incidents resulted in multiple transports to the hospital (most other minor injuries were handled by first aid tents). Injuries and illnesses found by SFD Paramedics ranged from minor medical problems to an adult cardiac arrest.

The cardiac arrest occurred at Broadway/Monroe and SFD Paramedics were on scene nearly immediately. When responders arrived the patient was clinically deceased and the SFD Paramedics successfully revived the patient which was ultimately transported by AMR to the hospital.
