Death is reversible up to 48 minutes?

In cardiac arrest CPR 10 should be started within 10 minutes of death, earlier the better, and should be continued for more than 10 minutes, said Padma Shri & Dr. BC Roy National Awardee, Dr. KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India, Dr. Aggarwal was conducting CPR 10 camps at Shri Rama Bharti Public School and Bal Bharti Public School at Bahadur Garh.

As per modern science and also ancient Vedic literature, life can be brought back within 48 minutes after the heart has stopped functioning.

The message for public is to start compressing the chest of the deceased victim with a speed of 100 per minute till medical help arrives. Effective and prolonged resuscitation is the key.

Over 2000 school children were trained in CPR Camp. 

About HCFI: The only National Not for profit NGO, on whose mega community health education events, Govt. of India has released two National commemorative stamps and one cancellation stamp, and who has conducted one to one training on”

Hands only CPR” of 50118 people since 1st November 2012.

The CPR 10 Mantra is – “within 10 minutes of death, earlier the better; at least for the next 10minutes, 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.”

CPR should be both effective and continuous

Conducting a camp on Hands Only Hands On CPR 10 camp at Lady Reading Nursing School, Padma Shri & Dr. BC Roy National Awardee, Dr. KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India said that over 24 lakh people die in India every year because of cardiac arrest, 18 lakh of them die before they reach the hospital and 12 lakh can be revived by the bystander by learning the technique of Hands Only CPR 10.

Internationally, it is a must for every health care worker to learn Hands on CPR and renew their learning every year.

Conducting a camp where 150 nursing students were trained, Dr. KK Aggarwal said that nurses are the backbone of the society and are amongst the first ones to come in contact with a cardiac arrest victim in a health care setting. They should start CPR at the very onset of sudden cardiac arrest and not wait for the resident doctor to come. Call to the emergency team can be given by a ward boy or safai karamchari.

 Most people die either because of bad performing CPR or low quality performance of CPR.

 Following are the important factors:

1.    Early recognition of sudden cardiac arrest by noting absence of respiration or gasping breathing.

2.    Providing adequate and effective CPR by remembering the words “Push Hard and Push Fast” by focusing on the quality of chest compressions.

3.    Allowing no interruption in CPR

4.    Taking not more than ten seconds to check for pulse.

5.    The rate of compression should be at least hundred compressions per minute.

6.    The Chest should be compressed for at least 2 inches with each compression.

7.    Chest should be allowed to recoil completely after compression.

8.    Chest compression should only be given with a person on a hard bed or on floor.

9.    To avoid rescuer fatigue, one may alternate the chest compressions.

10. If more than one rescuers are available, one should not attempt more than two minutes of resuscitation.
