CPR Training Day
Hello everyone,,
Yesterday was an special day for us because a CPR training was held for us at the National hospital of Sri Lanka. Even though Sri Lankans are not much aware of these things in other countries small kids are also practiced to do this and save lives. CPR is a life saving technique in an emergency cardiac arrest.
Simply it means the stopping of heart's function. At that time we have to be someone's heart and give continous compressions on his/her chest to compress his heart and supply blood to the brain. In that way we can stop the dying of the brain.
Sometimes it may look a simple process, but it' s required a practice. As it was the first day we all were a bit confused with it. But that knowledge and the training is really really important.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that's useful in many emergencies, such as a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. The American Heart Association recommends starting CPR with hard and fast chest compressions. This hands-only CPR recommendation applies to both untrained bystanders and first responders

Anyone can use this technique with the practice. But don't worry! Even without the practice we can give these compressions and save a life. Actually it's not just something belong to the medical field. It's a basic life skill! So um adding this video here to have you an idea about this and to learn and practice!
Have a good day!
