In a proactive move to enhance emergency preparedness, thirty bikers from the Riding Brotherhood's Tulunadu chapter participated in a comprehensive CPR and first aid training session. The one-day program was held at Justice KS Hegde Charitable Hospital in Deralakatte. It was organized by the department of public health at Nitte (Deemed to be University) in collaboration with the Nitte Medical Simulation Centre. The initiative was supported by Riding Brotherhood, aiming to equip riders with vital skills for immediate response to accidents and medical emergencies.
The training covered a wide array of critical procedures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation for adults, children, and infants. Participants also practiced using an automated external defibrillator, managing choking incidents, safe patient handling, and immediate care for burns and wounds. Sessions included practical exercises simulating road accidents, head injuries, fractures, and other trauma scenarios. This hands-on approach ensured participants gained confidence in their ability to provide life-saving assistance.
Organizers highlighted the importance of such training, emphasizing that immediate actions in critical moments can significantly impact outcomes. The program concluded with participants receiving certificates and badges, recognizing their new skills. One participant, Denin Tom Abraham, was honored for achieving the highest score in the training assessments.
