The ISCI Foundation, renowned for its commitment to community welfare and empowerment, recently hosted the Volunteer Growth Program in collaboration with RJN Spectra Hospital. The event offered a unique opportunity for volunteers to acquire critical life-saving skills under the expert guidance of Dr. Atul. This interactive training session emphasized Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), a fundamental technique for saving lives in emergencies.
The Importance of CPR Training
Emergencies can arise at any time, and immediate action can make the difference between life and death. CPR is a vital skill that empowers individuals to provide immediate aid to someone experiencing cardiac arrest. As a community-driven organization, the ISCI Foundation understands the significance of equipping its volunteers with life-saving techniques, enabling them to become active contributors to societal well-being.
A Day of Learning and Growth
The event was hosted at RJN Spectra Hospital, Gwalior, where volunteers gathered for a day of hands-on learning. Dr. Atul, a seasoned medical professional, led the training session, which covered both theoretical knowledge and practical applications of CPR.
The training session began with a detailed explanation of the following:
What is CPR? Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is an emergency procedure performed to manually maintain brain function and blood flow when the heart stops beating.
Why is CPR crucial? Dr. Atul explained that immediate CPR can double or even triple the chances of survival during cardiac emergencies.
When to perform CPR? The session outlined scenarios where CPR is required, such as cardiac arrests, drowning incidents, and choking.
The volunteers then engaged in practical exercises, practicing chest compressions and rescue breaths on mannequins under Dr. Atul’s supervision.
Building Confidence Through Hands-On Practice
The practical component was the highlight of the program. Volunteers learned:
Proper Techniques: How to position hands correctly for chest compressions.
Comprehending Timing: Understanding the right rhythm (typically 100–120 compressions per minute).
Rescue Breathing: Techniques for delivering air to the lungs effectively.
Assessing Situations: Identifying when CPR is necessary and ensuring the environment is safe to act.
The interactive nature of the session allowed participants to clarify doubts, learn from peers, and build confidence in their abilities.
Fostering Community Empowerment
The ISCI Foundation believes that empowering individuals with practical skills creates a ripple effect of positive change. Each trained volunteer is now a potential first responder, capable of providing life-saving assistance in emergencies.
