Bhubaneswar: Odisha Governor Prof. Ganeshi Lal inaugurated the Mass Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training programme at KIIT Deemed-to-be-University here on Tuesday, in the presence of Chief Commissioner of Income Tax Krishna Kishore Jasthi, Sri Sathya Sai Trust, Odisha, Convenor Akshay Pani, Global Resuscitation Expert and Advisor, Odisha govt Dr Vemuri S Murthy and KIIT & KISS Founder Dr Achyuta Samanta.

The programme is being conducted in association with KIIT Sri Jagannatha Service Foundation and Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organization.

About 1,500 students were trained in the initial phase.

All students and staff of KIIT and KISS will be trained under the programme in the next 18 months.

It will help immensely help the tribal communities living in different remote localities across Odisha.

“Nature has remedies for all types of ailments, but we are polluting and spreading toxicity around the world and affecting Mother Nature. This is also causing problems for human lives. We must be cautious on this count,” the Governor said.

Dr Samanta praised the CPR training programme of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organization.

“Due to change in lifestyle many are falling victim to diseases like heart attack… to improve on this we have to have a holistic approach and change our lifestyle. This programme will, in the long run, help save many people’s lives. We will train all students and staff of KIIT-KISS on this and the students of KISS can also train people in their areas and thus help save more people,” said Dr Samanta.

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the world. Ninety per cent of the victims succumb unless immediate emergency help is provided by somebody near the dying person with immediate CPR with compressions on the chest and early use of an electronic gadget called Automated External Defibrillator (AED), before an ambulance arrives.

CPR technique saves lives during cardiac arrest by helping blood circulation and restarting the heart through chest compressions, which help keep the blood flowing to vital organs, until a regular heartbeat returns.
