The 108 Emergency Ambulance Service is a 24x7 service, which anyone can avail by dialing the number 108 on their phone during any medical emergency.
23rd October 2018 was declared as Restart a Heart Day by Indian Resuscitation Council which was an initiative of Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists. Thousands of people across India were imparted training in Compression Only Life Support (COLS) in one day across India to celebrate the World Start A Heart Day today. The main activity of this was to teach effective chest compression which should be performed continuously till help arrives if you witness a cardiac arrest. If the rescuer is alone, then he should activate the emergency medical system or ambulance services himself for early transfer of the victim for definitive treatment. The rate of chest compression should be 120/min and compression depth should be at least 5 cm but not more than 6 cm. The rescuer should allow complete chest recoil between compression without lifting hands from the chest but should not lean on the victim's chest. There should be minimum interruptions during chest compression. However, compression-only CPR ( Cardio pulmonary resuscitation ) may not be effective in cardiac arrest following drowning, trauma and asphyxia. Traditional CPR may improve the survival in such a case. Similarly, in paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, where the primary cause is usually of respiratory origin, traditional CPR may be beneficial. Col Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist.
