When a person suddenly collapses due to cardiac arrest, every second counts. In such moments, the knowledge of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) can make the difference between life and death.
Unfortunately, very few people in India — and even in major cities like Lucknow — are trained in CPR. That’s why Shukla Ambulance Lucknow promotes CPR awareness and training for everyone, not just medical professionals.
This article explains why CPR training is essential, how it works, and how you can learn it to help save lives.
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is an emergency lifesaving technique used when someone’s heart stops beating.
It involves:
• Chest compressions to manually pump the heart.
• Rescue breaths (in some cases) to supply oxygen.
• Maintaining blood flow to the brain and vital organs until professional help arrives.
When performed immediately, CPR can double or even triple a person’s chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
In cardiac arrest, brain damage can begin within 4–6 minutes. Ambulance or medical help may take a few minutes to arrive — and in that gap, bystander CPR can save a life.
Knowing CPR means you become the first responder in an emergency.
Cardiac emergencies don’t just occur in hospitals. They can happen:
• At home
• In schools
• In offices
• On the road
• In public spaces
That’s why CPR knowledge for everyone — students, teachers, drivers, or office staff — is vital.
At Shukla Ambulance, we often witness patients who could’ve been saved if someone had started CPR earlier.
When someone collapses, panic spreads fast.
People who have undergone CPR or Basic Life Support (BLS) training remain calm and act confidently.
Even simple hands-only CPR (chest compressions without breaths) can sustain life until help arrives.
Even with GPS-enabled ambulances and fast response teams like Shukla Ambulance Lucknow, there’s always a few minutes of travel time.
If bystanders start CPR immediately, the patient’s survival chances improve drastically by the time medical professionals arrive.
Communities where more people are trained in CPR have higher survival rates during cardiac emergencies.
When schools, offices, and organizations conduct CPR training programs, they create a safer environment for everyone.
CPR isn’t just for doctors or paramedics — it’s for everyone.
Here’s who should consider learning it:
• Students and teachers
• Office employees
• Drivers and public transport staff
• Security guards and shopkeepers
• Parents and caregivers
• Gym trainers and coaches
Basically, anyone who interacts with people daily can become a lifesaver with CPR training.
There are several types of CPR courses available, depending on your role:
For the general public, teachers, and office staff.
Focus: Hands-only CPR, use of AED (Automated External Defibrillator), and emergency response.
For healthcare workers and paramedics.
Focus: Airway management, medications, and cardiac monitoring.
