With a life slipping away, the Apple Watch comes to the rescue and summons help

With a life slipping away, the Apple Watch comes to the rescue and summons help،

We've seen many examples of how the Apple Watch has saved lives over the years thanks to the heart rate sensor, fall detection feature, SP02 blood oxygen scanner, and ECG reader . A report of CBS News in Philadelphia (via 9to5Mac) reveals how the Apple Watch's SOS button saved the life of Delaware student Natalie Nasatka. A faulty heater filled his Smyrna, Delaware, apartment with carbon monoxide. The gas is odorless, odorless and tasteless, but it kills 400 people a year.

The only way to detect gas is to monitor how you feel. “I felt extremely exhausted,” Nasatka said. “My vision was getting blurry.” Just before losing consciousness, she used the SOS slider on her Apple Watch to immediately call 911 and report her location to help. Natalie said: “When I heard the firefighters shouting 'firemen' and they pulled me out of bed, I just started crying and saying 'I want to live. I want to live'.”

Emergency room physician Dr. Lynn Farrugia explained why carbon monoxide is so dangerous. She said: “It's the lack of oxygen that affects the body. Some things become irreversible, the heart can become damaged. Once the brain has been without oxygen for too long there can be irreversible symptoms. ” Early warning symptoms include dizziness, confusion and vomiting.

Nasatka, who said he has “ridden waves of emotion” since the incident, also noted that “the presence of carbon monoxide was confirmed because the fire monitor read 80 parts per million in the apartment, which is extremely high.” Although many states require carbon monoxide detectors to be installed in homes and apartments, there were no detectors in Nasatka's apartment. Space heaters are a major cause of carbon monoxide poisoning and with the cold weather setting in, you need to be careful if you use one.

If you own an Apple Watch, you need to memorize these instructions to activate the Emergency SOS feature on the watch:

Press and hold the side button (under the Digital Crown) on your Apple Watch.
Drag the Emergency Call slider to make the call immediately. Or you can continue to hold the side button to trigger a countdown. Once the countdown is complete, the emergency call is made.
When Apple Watch calls emergency services, the watch also shows your location. Once this call is completed, the watch will send a text message to your emergency contacts and tell them your location.

If you don't have an Apple Watch but use an iPhone 8 or later, you can use the Emergency SOS feature by following these instructions:
