USV Health & Wellness: Save A Life - Episode 5

When medical emergencies like a cardiac arrest happen it is important to be aware of the first aid to be given and the actions to be taken. In the recent past many people in their prime have passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest. When someone has a cardiac arrest, usually the people around him or her are unaware of what to do. There is limited and sometimes ineffective bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It is important to learn about CPR 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. 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 for giving CPR if the need arises. In today's episode eminent cardiologists help you understand sudden cardiac death and the role of CPR to REVIVE and SAVE A LIFE.
