Suraj Bhan D.A.V. Public School students learn CPR-10

1036 students of Suraj Bhan DAV Public School, Vasant Vihar learnt hands-only CPR 10 today, which explained how to revive a person within 10 minutes of cardiac death.  The training camp was conducted by Padma Shri and Dr B C Roy National Awardee, Dr K K Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India and Senior Vice President Indian Medical Association.

Sudden cardiac deaths are more common in dry winter than in wet winter.  Ayurveda also mentions that there are more chances of acute rise in blood pressure and irregular heart disease in dry winter.

Smt. Anita Ahuja, Principal of DAV School said that one should include training of CPR 10 in every school in such a way that 100% of students and teachers get trained.

Later in the day at the annual function of Public Relations Society of India held at Eros Hotel, Dr. Aggarwal said that in today’s era nobody should die of sudden unexpected cardiac death.  But people like Farooq Sheikh, cine actor do die now and then. It is possible to anticipate sudden cardiac death and to revive a person after death, he further added.

If you can climb two flights of stairs, walk 2 km or have an exercise with your partner in the bed without any symptoms, there are negligible chances that you will die of sudden cardiac death in the next 10 years.  If your blood sugar, blood pressure and blood cholesterol are kept under control; you are a non-smoker and your ECG is normal, this further rules out future sudden cardiac death.

CPR 10 Utsav Inaugurated

New Delhi: 15th December 2013: Inaugurating a day-long hands-only CPR 10 Utsav, Mr. Jalaj Shrivastava Chairman NDMC said that cardiac first aid training in hands-only CPR 10 should be provided in every school and college as part of their educational programme. It has now become possible to train everybody as mouth to mouth resuscitation is no more required.

In his message, Mr D M Sapolia Chief secretary Govt of Delhi said that all heart patients must ensure that their relatives and employee learn this technique as heart patients are at risk for sudden cardiac arrest and they can be revived if the bystander at that point of time can attempt CPR 10 on them if they develop cardiac arrest.

Padma Shri and Dr B C Roy National Awardee and President Heart Care Foundation of India Dr. K K Aggarwal and Dr P K Sharma, MOH NDMC said that all healthcare personnel including security personnel in the hospital premises, bus conductors, bus drivers, police personnel etc. should also be trained in CPR 10 as they are the first ones to reach if a person has cardiac arrest.

Dr. Aggarwal further said that CPR 10 is only effective if it is attempted within 10 minutes of cardiac arrest. The Foundation released the CPR 10 mantra, which in Hindi reads as “Marne ke dus minute ke under dus minute tak aur 10 x 10 yani 100 prati minute ki speed se apni chhati peetne ke badle marne wale ki chhati peeto.”

In English it can be remembered as “within 10 minutes of death, earlier the better; at least for the next 10 minutes, longer the better; compress the centre of the chest of the dead person continuously and effectively with a speed of 10x10 i.e. 100 per minute.”

The journalists should also be trained in the technique as they are also among the first ones to reach the victim’s place. The chances of revival are up to 60 per cent if attempted within 10 minutes and these chances can be increased if there is availability of public access defibrillators.

Dr. Aggarwal said that the Government should issue an advisory so that every public place where there is a gathering of more than 50 people, which includes trains, buses, malls, hotels and restaurants it should be compulsory for them to have their staff trained in CPR 10 and also to make available public access defibrillators. As of today, only airlines have made it mandatory to have public access defibrillators.

 

Over 3000 persons were trained in a single sitting.

 13. The HCFI trained 11459 people in one day and created a world record on 6^th April, 2013 on the eve of World Health Day.

14. Early recognition of sudden cardiac arrest: unresponsiveness or absent/gasping breathing

15. Immediate initiation of excellent CPR is important.

16. Excellent CPR 10: Push hard, push fast – with continuous attention to the quality of chest compressions, and to the frequency of ventilations

17. Minimize interruptions in CPR.

18. Compress the chest by 1½ inches.

19. Push hard and push fast on the center of the chest: Maintain a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute; compress the chest at least 5 cm (2 inches) with each down-stroke; allow the chest to recoil completely between each down-stroke and minimize the frequency and duration of any interruptions

20. Lay rescuers should not interrupt chest compressions to palpate for pulses and should continue CPR until an automated external defibrillator (AED) is ready to defibrillate, emergency doctor assume care, or the patient wakes up.

21. CPR 10 is not recommended for children or arrest of non cardiac origin (e.g., near drowning).

22. Electrical phase comprises first 4 minutes after cardiac arrest and requires immediate defibrillation if available along with CPR 10

23. Hemodynamic phase spans 4-10 minutes following sudden cardiac arrest and patients in this phase benefit from excellent chest compressions to generate adequate cerebral and coronary perfusion and immediate defibrillation.

24. Metabolic phase occurs following approximately 10 minutes of pulselessness and few patients who reach this phase survive.

25. Formula of 10 (CPR-10): To revive after sudden cardiac arrest, within 10 minutes of  cardiac arrest (earlier the better) for the next 'at least' 10 minutes (longer the better) compress the center of the chest, continuously and effectively, with a speed of 10 x 10 (100) per minute.
