Hyderabad Police Receive CPR Training
Over 2,600 police personnel in Hyderabad are being trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as part of a four-day programme. The training was inaugurated on Thursday by City Police Commissioner CV Anand at his office. He mentioned that the programme is being conducted with the support of Mythri Hospital, Mehdipatnam, and expressed gratitude to the hospital for providing this vital training.
In the first phase of the programme, 1,409 police personnel were trained. During the second phase, 1,248 officers and personnel will receive training, divided into 15 batches. Each batch will undergo a 90-minute session. CV Anand highlighted the importance of the programme, stating that it will benefit not only the police force but also the general public in emergency situations.
CPR is a life-saving procedure that can restore the flow of blood and oxygen in the body when someone experiences cardiac arrest. Commissioner Anand explained that if the heart starts beating again, the individual who fainted may regain consciousness. CPR ensures oxygenated blood continues to circulate to vital organs, including the brain, preventing serious damage.
He emphasized the urgency of starting CPR immediately for anyone who has lost consciousness, as delays can lead to irreversible brain damage. Performing CPR quickly can save lives, so it is crucial to act without hesitation in emergencies. While administering CPR, it is also important to call for emergency medical assistance to ensure proper care is provided.
