NEW DELHI: Doctors in India have begun to make appeal to the public to train themselves in CPR and include that in school curriculum, following the incident at Delhiโs Indira Gandhi International airport where a passengerโs life was saved two weeks ago
Speaking to The New Indian, Dr Nityanand Tripathi, Senior Director and Head of Cardiology and Electrophysiology at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh warned, โMost deaths during a heart attack happen due to ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), where the patient becomes unconscious. If cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is started immediately and DC cardioversion is done, the patient can be savedโ.
His comments assume significance with the rising cases of heart attack at public places such as gymnasiums, airports, weddings and office spaces.
โIt is recommended now that BLS training should be part of education, and every public place should have automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) installed so that trained individuals can give a shock to the patient and save lives,โ said Dr Tripathi.

The sudden heart attack cases have been rising alarmingly in India, these cases are becoming extremely common amongst people of all age groups. As per estimated at least 1 to 1.5 million deaths occur annually due to heart attacks. Many of the recent incidents highlight the need for immediate response and CPR training programs.
