Tempus Pretioso and PLC volunteers demonstrated and provided hands-on training on CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation), Heimlich Manoeuvre (In choking), splinting, hypoglycaemia and dehydration management, Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) and Gastric lavage. The workshop began with introductory presentations on CPR, using AED, the Heimlich manoeuvre, and splinting. The participants were then divided into 4 groups and rotated through demonstrations of the techniques that had been explained before. In the demo rounds, the participants could practice the demonstrated life skills on dummies, in simulations of real-life situations. The demonstrations were followed by very interactive presentations on first aid for dehydration and hypoglycaemia, compression bandaging, and seizures. The event was attended by 90 students and staff of the MCOPS and other institutions. The participants were equipped with the skills that could potentially help them save a life if the situation arose.
