Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation commonly known as (CPR) is an emergency procedure performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function, until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest. It is indicated in those who are unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal breathing.

ASSE Kuwait Chapter in collaboration with Gulf CPR Training Institute; Affiliated to Kuwait Medical Association Training Center; organized the training program “Heartsaver® First Aid with Hands Only CPR (American Heart Association [AHA] standard)”. The program was organized on 26th September 2014; exclusively for ASSE members; at Kuwait Medical Association Training Center, Jabriya, State of Kuwait.

The program; inaugurated by the Chapter Acting Secretary Mr. Dinesh Dutta; was facilitated by Chapter Training Committee Head Mr. Sanjay Jaiswal. Fifteen ASSE Members utilized the opportunity and benefited from the program.

Hands-on training on “How to Administer CPR”; was very helpful for the safety professionals in their career during an emergency at their workplaces. The participants; who emerged successful in Assessment; received the AHA certificate & pocket cards.
