Metra Hosts CPR, AED Demonstrations
Metra commuter rail, serving the Chicago area, recently teamed up with Northwestern Medicine® and the American Heart Association to provide lifesaving demonstrations at several stations during the morning rush period.
The demonstrations, held during National CPR and AED Awareness Week, provided Metra customers with an introduction to the correct way to administer a new hands-only CPR method and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). Metra and Northwestern Medicine, the strategic alliance of Northwestern Memorial HealthCare and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, teamed up with Cardiac Science in 2012 to raise awareness and support for AEDs on Metra trains. The partnership led to the installation of some 425 AEDs throughout the system.
