| Minutes of Meeting | Dr. Durairaj was introduced by Rtn. Dr. Collin Louzado who knew him in his earlier days. Dr. Durairaj then introduced Dr. Khan, an intensivist who explained in detail the importance of seeking medical help or applying CPR within the golden window which is within 10 mins of a suspected cardiac arrest. He demonstrated the correct way to interlock the fingers, the correct pressure and technique for counting the compressions, how to tilt the head back to administer the rescue breath and lastly the instructions for use of AED or Automatic Electronic Defibrillator. It was an excellent session and Dr Durairaj clarified many questions and doubts put forth to him. Many club members also willingly stepped up to the mannequin to practice these life saving techniques, whereby they earned a badge saying ‘I am CPR literate’. |
