Health and Wellness - Save a Life: Episode 49

Sudden cardiac arrests and heart attacks are emergencies that can occur at any time and at any stage. Young adults too suffer from sudden cardiac death due to their sedentary and stressful lifestyle. Without immediate recognition and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the chance of survival decreases significantly with every minute that passes without life-saving measures.

It is even more important if you have a loved one who has a history of cardiac disease; as research reports that the majority of cardiac arrests occur at home. In this show eminent cardiologists help understand sudden cardiac death and the role of CPR.

Knowledge of CPR will equip you with the skill and the confidence needed to transform yourself from the role of bystander to a lifesaver. Save a Life is an initiative through which people will be made aware of the early signs & symptoms of cardiac arrest so that patients can get to the hospital in time and also be trained on giving CPR if the need arises.
