As a part of its
continuous Healthcare Training Initiative, INLEAD facilitated a workshop on the
Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) & Disaster
Management at Pushpanjali Crosslay Hospital, New Delhi. Basic
Life Support (BLS) is the
level of medical care which is used for victims of life-threatening illnesses
or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital. It can be
provided by trained medical personnel, including emergency medical technicians,
paramedics, and by laypersons who have received BLS training. BLS is generally
used in the pre-hospital setting, and can be provided without medical
equipment.
The students got an opportunity to practice the steps of BLS on the
dummy which gave them hands on exposure.

According to Ms
Nikita, Jan 2013 Batch: “Training in BLS
will help me in future to manage & control the emergency situations well.”
·
According to Ms Aarzoo,
Jan 2013 Batch: “Lecture by Dr. Sandeep
Jain, Trauma Surgeon at Pushpanjali Hospital taught me how to provide emergency
care to the person with problem in Airway, Breathing & Circulation.”
The students felt confident at the end of training module. The workshop
also included an in-depth learning about
the disaster management, which is a natural or man-made event, whether internal
or external, in which the needs of a patient overextends or overwhelms the
resources needed to care for them. Disaster Management module helped them to
learn types of Disaster management, Zones of Disasters, Principles of Disaster
Triage etc.
According to Dr. Eesha Arora, Healthcare Faculty at INLEAD: “The one day workshop briefed the students
with the importance of the Disaster Management, chain of survival & the
difference between the Adult BLS, Pediatric BLS & Infant BLS. It was a
great learning experience.”
