First Aid Awareness Camp

(3^rd  April, 2017)

A one-day awareness program on first aid was organized by the Department of Zoology of Dev Samaj College for Women, on 3^rd April , 2017 at college  Auditorium.The event, split into two sessions – the morning (9:30 am to 12:30 noon), and the afternoon (2 pm to 5 pm) . The session started with the trainer stating the amendment that has been made in the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 (Section 134) which reinstates that people who are not willing to produce themselves as witnesses of accidents cannot be forced to do so. This ensures that, people can help out victims, and can also bail out from the stringent procedures. The most important step of the procedure involves keeping the victim conscious, and these are the ABCs to be kept in mind – Air, Breathing and Circulation.

1.  Air - The congenial, uncrowded environment that would enable free supply of air to the victim.

2. Breathing – This involves three stages, viz. Look, Listen and Feel.

a.  Look: Keep one’s ear near the nose of the victim to see if he/she is breathing.

b. Listen: Focus on the belly and abdominal region to see if the respiration is uniform.

c. Feel: Decide if the person is descending back to unconsciousness.

3. Circulation – This implies, checking if the victim’s pulse is normal. This can be done by keeping the index and middle fingers of any one hand on the region of soft tissue towards the left or right of the Adam’s Apple (for men), and slightly towards the left or right of the center (for women).

 True to that, it was a very informative day for the students, getting to know the nuances of saving a person at crucial times.
