CPR is most important in case of a heart attack

According to the doctor, when someone gets a heart attack, they experience pain in their heart and difficulty in breathing.

Officials of the District Higher Secondary School Inspectorate in Malda, West Bengal, said that this special training will be given to students not only in one school, but in almost every school in the district.

If a person becomes unconscious after a heart attack, first of all make him lie straight on a flat and hard surface. Now place the palms of both hands in the middle of his chest and press fast using the weight of the whole body. Press his chest about 100 to 120 times in a minute. After every 30 pressures, close his nose and give him two breaths through the mouth.

This pressure acts like a pump for the heart. This ensures that oxygen reaches the body and brain along with blood. Also, breathing from time to time removes the lack of air and oxygen in the body. This process has to be continued until the doctor's help arrives because this is the only way to keep the patient alive after a heart attack. Giving correct CPR is not only life-saving, but it also protects the heart and brain from serious damage.

Repeat this process until a doctor or medical help arrives or the patient's breathing and heartbeat resume. Giving CPR keeps the body getting oxygen, which can save the patient's life. In case of a heart attack, this first aid can also save lives. This is the reason why children are being trained in many schools of Malda.
