[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, conducted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for 257 people, including village chiefs and residents, from the 11th to the 18th.

According to the county on the 23rd, this training was conducted by inviting professional instructors from the Korean Red Cross, touring each eup and myeon as well as the Namak area, and had a high participation rate due to the great interest and support from many residents.

The training, which combined theory and practice, covered 119 emergency call procedures, CPR methods, and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), receiving a great response from participants. Residents were able to develop the ability to respond quickly in actual emergencies such as cardiac arrest.

A village resident who participated in the training said, "After receiving this CPR training, I gained confidence that I can actively respond in an emergency," and added, "I plan to continue practicing CPR regularly whenever I have time."

County Governor Kim San stated, "We plan to further expand CPR training so that all residents can receive it in preparation for emergencies that can happen anytime to their families and neighbors."

CPR is an emergency procedure that involves compressing the chest of a person whose lung and heart activity has stopped to supply oxygen. The survival and prognosis of cardiac arrest patients depend on how quickly the first witness performs CPR.
