“We must aim at least to improve the cardiac survival rate by 10% in the medium time frame. To improve cardiac arrest survival rates, we must focus more on early recognition, providing prompt CPR, making rapid defibrillation, making Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) accessible, and advanced care, bystander training, and robust emergency response systems,” said Dr. GV Ramana Rao, Director, Emergency Medicine Learning Centre (EMLC) & Research at EMRI at the EMRI Green Health Services (EMRI GHS) organised a two-day inaugural Resuscitation Academy Leadership Workshop at its premises in Devar Yamzal in the city outskirts on Friday.

The workshop was jointly organised by EMRI GHS and Global Resuscitation Alliance, USA Head Office. Speaking at the closing ceremony, Dr. GV Ramana Rao, Director, Emergency Medicine Learning Centre (EMLC) & Research at EMRI said that the survival rates of cardiac arrests must be improved.

During the workshop, Telephone CPR and High Performance CPR demonstrations were shown.The workshop also brought together over 75 participants from Singapore, the USA, UK, Ghana, and Norway. Attendees include practicing doctors from institutions like NIMS and Apollo, government health officials, subject matter experts and other key leaders in the field.

The workshop was designed to support the implementation of the Global Resuscitation Alliance (GRA) 10 Steps, recognized as the gold standard for enhancing cardiac arrest survival rates worldwide. The RAI believes that the effective implementation of these ten steps will help improve Return of Spontaneous Circulation in cardiac arrest cases in target regions in India from 2% to 10% by 2030.
