Cintas Kicks Off Heart Health Month With TJ McMahon’s Life-Saving Story

CINCINNATI, OH / ACCESSWIRE / February 2, 2023 / In recognition of National Heart Health Month, Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq:CTAS) celebrates the immediate and courageous actions taken by one of its First Aid & Safety Sales Representative TJ McMahon, based in Charlotte, N.C., that helped save a life.

Sudden cardiac arrest presents a serious and escalating health challenge. More than 350,000 people suffer out-of-hospital cardiac events each year.¹ McMahon's training enabled him to be ready™ for the unexpected and reinforced CPR and AEDs' critical function in saving lives.

"What we do matters," McMahon said. "To be involved directly, to see the outcome - and then what comes from the outcome - 100% solidifies what I do for a living."

As McMahon watched his son's summer baseball practice unfold on Aug. 27, 2022, in Fort Mill, S.C., angling his chair along the shaded third-base line for relief from the heat, he had no idea he was about to save a man's life.

Batting practice had just begun when McMahon noticed his son's coach, Rem Crawford, face-down on the ground.

McMahon raced to Crawford's side. He was not breathing. He had no pulse.

"I immediately knew I had some form of relief inside of my truck," McMahon said.

Because of his sales role in Cintas' First Aid & Safety division, McMahon travels everywhere with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The device analyzes a person's heartbeat and issues an electrical shock when detecting an uncoordinated rhythm, and Cintas has helped save more than 600 lives with AEDs provided across the country.

The next few minutes were an adrenaline-charged blur. McMahon asked someone to call 911, sent the players into a nearby parking lot away from the scene, bit open the AED pads with his teeth and tore off the cellophane in a frenzy.

McMahon's training was a crucial part of the life-saving measures, as he knew how to perform compressions, study real-time feedback from the AED and deliver shocks. Emergency Medical Technicians reinforced the process by phone as they sped toward the diamond.

And then, success.

"About 30 to 45 seconds into that second set, Rem comes back to life," McMahon said.

The incident happened so quickly that Crawford's wife of 19 years, Ember, had yet to arrive. All three Crawford children had gone with Rem to practice while Ember, in a rare instance, had stayed home. She jumped into action when her 13-year-old daughter called in tears.
