The Faculty of Medical Sciences, Emergency Medicine Department, RAMA University, Mandhana, successfully organized the second “Workshop on Advanced Cardiac Life Support” (ACLS) on 29th November 2024 at Lecture Theatre No. 2 in the Medical College. The workshop aimed to equip participants with vital skills to manage cardiac emergencies effectively.
Over 65 participants, including PG JR-1 and faculty members, received hands-on training in Advanced Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) by practicing on a human mannequin. The session covered essential topics such as airway management, handling obstruction, rescue breaths, and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
Highlighting the significance of life support training, Dr. Manisha Nigam, Head of the Emergency Department, emphasized that timely CPR combined with ACLS can save numerous lives. She explained the “Code Blue” emergency response system at Rama Medical College, which activates a specialized team equipped with advanced cardiac support, including AEDs and essential drugs, for immediate patient resuscitation.
The training session was inaugurated by Dr. Brijendra Nigam, Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, who lit the ceremonial lamp. Wing Commander (Dr.) Mohammed Muzammil, the coordinator, led the session alongside his team, including Dr. Tushar, Dr. Govind, Dr. Praveen, Dr. Vineet Singh, Dr. Vidushi Verma, Utkarsh Agarwal, Vishesh Vohra, and Dr. Vaishnavi Singh. Dr. Govind Maheshwari anchored the program.
Dr. Muzammil elaborated on ACLS methodologies and stressed the importance of training common individuals in basic life support (BLS), as it can significantly reduce casualties caused by emergencies such as road accidents, saving 50 to 60 lives daily with just 20 minutes of training.
This workshop highlights RAMA University’s ongoing commitment to advancing emergency medical education and equipping healthcare professionals to handle critical life-saving scenarios.
