FAIRPORT, Ohio — U.S. Coast Guard Station Fairport crew members resuscitated an unresponsive 52-year-old woman at Pickle Bill’s Lobster House restaurant in Grand River near Fairport, Ohio, Saturday.

At approximately 5:20 p.m., a 52-year-old female restaurant patron appeared to suffer a heart attack and was unresponsive.

While eating dinner at the same restaurant, another customer approached Station Fairport boat crew members at their table. The person recognized their Coast Guard uniforms and asked if anyone knew CPR.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Travis Fields, Seaman Apprentice Caroline Murdock, Petty Officer 2nd Class Taylor Reaser, Seaman Emma Spurlock, Petty Officer 3rd Madeline Watt, and Petty Officer 2nd Class James Woods checked the woman's vital signs and started to conduct chest compressions.

After administering CPR, the crew was able to verify a pulse and monitored the woman until medical transport arrived.

The local fire department and emergency medical services arrived at the restaurant and relieved the Coast Guard crewmembers. The woman was then transported to University Hospitals TriPoint Medical Center.
