STAR HOSPITALS has trained over 3000 people in BLS and CPR

New Delhi (India) July 26 : Imagine a bustling airport where a 42-year-old man suddenly collapses. Amidst the chaos, an unknown hero steps forward, performs CPR with precision, and saves the man’s life. This story, while extraordinary, is not unique. It highlights the life-saving power of CPR, a skill anyone can learn and use during critical moments.

Consider another heart-stopping incident: a 32-year-old woman faints at a metro station. Panic spreads among the commuters until a brave fellow traveler steps forward and performs CPR. Her life is saved thanks to the quick thinking and training of a stranger.

Then there’s the story of a 50-year-old man who, recognizing the early symptoms of a heart attack, drives himself 8 kilometers to the nearest hospital. His quick action and knowledge of Basic Life Support (BLS) protocols, learned from a CPR course, ensure he receives the medical care he needs in time.

These stories, often highlighted in the news, underscore a vital truth: knowing CPR can make the difference between life and death. Take Mr. Kartik, for example. After attending a BLS and CPR training program at Star Hospitals, he was able to act swiftly when his father showed early signs of a stroke. His newly acquired skills helped him save his father’s life and preserve his quality of life.

These real-life heroes inspire us all. Their stories illustrate the profound impact that CPR knowledge can have, not just on the lives of strangers but on our loved ones as well. At Star Hospitals, we are deeply committed to spreading this crucial knowledge. Recognized by the American Heart Association as an ACLS and BLS training center, Star Hospitals has trained over 3000 people in BLS and CPR in the past ten months alone.

As we observe World CPR Day, we must ask ourselves: How prepared are we to respond in a life-threatening emergency? Do we possess the skills that could potentially save a life? Learning CPR is as essential as learning to drive; it equips us to navigate emergencies with confidence and competence.

Understanding CPR: A Lifesaving Procedure

CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is an emergency life-saving procedure performed when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. This may happen due to medical emergencies like electric shock, heart attack, or drowning. CPR combines rescue breathing and chest compressions, aiming to restore oxygenated blood flow to the brain and vital organs until professional medical help arrives.

The beauty of CPR lies in its accessibility. Anyone can learn and independently perform CPR. With proper training, you can become a lifesaver for your friends, family, or even a stranger in need. At Star Hospitals, we offer free BLS and CPR training programs to empower as many individuals as possible with these vital skills. If you wish to participate and learn how to save lives, please reach out to our team.

This World CPR Day, let us pledge to equip ourselves with the knowledge and skills to make a difference. Together, we can create a community of lifesavers, ready to act when it matters most. Join us at Star Hospitals and be a part of this life-affirming mission.

Dr. Rahul Katta’s CPR Experience at 30,000 Feet

While flying from London to India over Europe at 30,000 feet, a call went out for help: “Is there a doctor on the flight?” A 60-year-old, fit male passenger was in cardiac arrest, with no pulse detected. Dr. Rahul Katta led a team of four other doctors to start CPR immediately. They carried on for 45 minutes and administered nearly 14 shocks with the defibrillator. By the time the flight landed in Italy, they had managed to restore his pulse.

Seven days later, Dr. Katta received a call from the patient’s daughter, and later from the patient himself. Remarkably, he had been out of the ICU in just three days and was able to reach out to thank them within a week. This incredible survival story exemplifies the power of hands-on CPR and defibrillation, exactly as taught in every CPR course at Star Hospitals. You have the power to save a life.
