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.
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 “
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.”
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.
