Workers at the Thessaloniki Metro station in Greece saved a 53-year-old man who suffered cardiac arrest at the Syntrivani station.
The employees immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation and used an automated external defibrillator before paramedics arrived. Their quick actions, combined with the care from ambulance personnel and a doctor, helped the man regain consciousness and travel to a hospital for further treatment. The availability of the defibrillator proved critical, as every minute matters in similar medical emergencies.
The Metro workers had received training through a donation from D. Masoutis, which enabled them to respond quickly and effectively. D. Masoutis donated 18 automated external defibrillators to the Hellenic Metro S.A. and 66 to STASY S.A., resulting in a total of 84 defibrillators installed at metro stations in Athens and Thessaloniki. These devices were placed at busy stations to create a network for immediate response to medical events.
