A husband and wife who stopped their motorcycle ride to the Blue Ridge Parkway last summer to perform CPR on a complete stranger in Stokes County are set to be honored by the American Red Cross of the Piedmont during its annual Salute to Heroes event later this month.

Wesley and Katie Clodfelter， of Thomasville，NC，were headed north on US 52 just past King on July 1，2017， when they saw a carpulled overon the side of the road.

Katie Clodfelter is an ER nurse at High Point Regional and Wesley Clodfelter does critical care transport there.He also works for the Thomasville Fire Department.

Both say theyfelt compelled toact when they saw a man being pulled out of an automobile in obvious distress （痛苦）.They quickly learned from the man's wife that he had suffered a heart attack.

“We knew that he had no pulse， so I started chest compression （壓縮），” Katie Clodfelter said.

“About 12 to 15 minutes， we did CPR before the ambulance had gotten there，” Wesley Clodfelter said.

He later learned that the patient and his wife were from Ohio，justpassing throughNorthwest North Carolina on vacation.Thanks totheir dedication and quick，trained lifesaving actions，the man lived and made it back home.

“We were just doing the right thing，”Wesley Clodfelter said and adding“anybody would have done it.”

“I feel like we were just in the right place at the right time with，somewhat of the right knowledge knowing what to do and how to handle a situation we found on the side of theroad，” Katie Clodfelter said.

Salute to Heroesis scheduledMonday at the Odeon Theatre on the Greensboro Coliseum Complex.

Cultural Background

心肺復蘇術（CPR）小常識

心肺復蘇術 （CPR）是一個救助心搏驟停的急救措施，結合胸外按壓、開放氣道與人工呼吸，以努力保持受救助人完整的大腦功能，直到采取進一步措施，恢復自發性血液循環。

成人胸外按壓深度至少5厘米，同時避免按壓深度超過6厘米，按壓頻率為每分鐘至少100到120次。救助者還可以通過吹氣進入主體的口腔或鼻子（口到口復蘇）或使用將空氣推入主體肺部 （機械通氣）的裝置，提供人工通氣。成人心肺復蘇按壓與通氣的比例一般為30∶2。目前對未經訓練的救援人員僅推薦一種簡單的心肺按壓方法。然而，對于兒童，只做按壓可能會導致更糟糕的結果。
