Event: 02/15/2000

Employee dies after suffering asthma attack

At approximately 1:30 p.m., Employee #1 was working at her desk when she began coughing severely. She asked a coworker to call 911, and other coworkers came to her assistance as the call was made. She struggled for breath and then fainted. Coworkers lowered her to the floor and laid her on her side to allow foam and fluid to drain from around her mouth. EMTs arrived within five minutes and paramedics about two minutes later. Two unsuccessful efforts were made, first to install track equipment and then a respirator mask. On their third attempt, a tube was inserted into Employee #1's throat. She was taken by ambulance to Harborview Hospital, where she died. Coworkers were aware of Employee #1's history of asthma.
