During a dog training exercise in May 2022, police group leader Crister Nelefelt in Dalarna suffered a cardiac arrest. Colleagues immediately gave CPR with a defibrillator from the patrol car while waiting for the ambulance helicopter. The ambulance helicopter, based in Mora, performs 350–400 missions annually, dominated by trauma followed by cardiac arrest and stroke.
70 percent of patients are assessed to be in life-threatening condition. Magnus Brodén has been base chief in Mora since the start ten years ago. Magnus Brodén sees that many parts have improved, including the ability to work in a team with a doctor and greater safety regarding the flight aspect.
Without it, I would not have survived.
Magnus Brodén expresses a desire to in the future be able to exist both in Mora and in Borlänge. The exact cause of Crister Nelefelt's cardiac arrest during the exercise has not been disclosed, and specific details on other service improvements over the past decade beyond those mentioned are not provided.
