The first country resuscitation academy comes to Hyderabad

Hyderabad: With cardiac stops that require 1.2 million lives in India annually, and the increasing concerns at this steep growth, the first resuscitation academy was established at Emri Green Health Services (GHS) on Thursday.

The Academy aims to improve the survival rates through better training, awareness and response strategies to emergency situations. It joins a global network of 30 similar academy dedicated to the excellence of resuscitation.

By announcing the initiative, RV Karnan, the family health and welfare commissioner, spoke about the urgent need for structured response to emergency situations. While Telangana has an ambulance availability that is better than the national average, he stressed that survival rates can be significantly improved if trauma care is offered during gold – the critical period immediately after a cardiac event.

The state set up 100 trauma care centers with support for the World Bank and aims to improve their ambulance-population report, he said.

The experts at the event indicated a severe lack of CPR awareness in India, only two percent of the population trained in life rescue procedures. Bystander CPR, a key factor in saving life during cardiac stops, is rarely performed.

To this way, the Academy will promote a large -scale training of the CPR, especially in educational institutions and automatic external defibrillators (AED) in public places.

The Alliance Global Resuscitation (GRA) has partnership with the Academy to implement the best international practices.

The inaugural management workshop, attended by doctors from eminent institutions such as NIMS, healthcare officials and emergency care experts, focused on adopting “10 steps to improve the survival of cardiac stop”, a worldwide recognized framework.

Meanwhile, the faculties in Singapore, the US and Denmark have shared information on pre-hospital emergency care. A CPR demonstration presented life rescue techniques, while a CPR survivor of Nirmal Town told his experience, emphasizing the critical role of the trained respondents.

The resuscitation academy strives to increase the survival rates of 10 % cardiac arrest in 2030 in the regions concerned in India. Experts believe that by improving response times, increasing bystander intervention and improving medical infrastructure, thousands of lives can be saved each year.
