CPR training, which is most important in emergency situations, is being promoted in Donghae City, Gangwon Province.

On the 16th October, the Donghae Branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group (Director Chan-yong Park) conducted life-saving CPR training at the Donghae Volunteer Centre.

The training was held on the occasion of World Heart Day (September 29th) designated by the World Heart Federation as an opportunity to improve emergency response skills and communicate with local residents.

Because expert help is needed, Donghae Fire Department conducted theoretical and practical training on rescue breathing, including the importance of performing CPR for the first witness to a cardiac arrest patient and how to use an automatic external defibrillator (AED).

CPR training is an emergency treatment method that can more than double the survival rate of people in acute cardiac arrest through quick and appropriate response in emergency situations.

Soo-ja Kim, who participated in the training, said, “It was useful because learning CPR would be of great help even in unexpectedly dangerous moments with my family or potential emergency situations around me.”

Joo-hee Seo, who was taking careful notes on the training content, said, “They say that if you perform correct CPR within 4 minutes, the survival rate of an acute cardiac arrest patient improves by 2 to 3 times. I think this training is really necessary in everyday life.”

Yeon-hee Choi, deputy director of the Donghae branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group, said, “While conducting the training, I felt proud of the sincere and active participation of members and residents.” She added, “We wish to help create a safe community by providing this training that saves families and neighbours to more people.”
