Damyang-gun Conducts CPR Training for Disaster and Emergency Response

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang County, Jeonnam, announced on the 22nd that it recently conducted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for public officials and volunteer firefighters at the county office's large conference room.

This training received great response from participants as it prepared for the increase in strokes and myocardial infarctions during winter and raised interest in emergency treatment following recent incidents such as the Itaewon disaster.

In particular, the training enhanced its effectiveness by focusing on practical exercises using mannequins to prepare for actual accident situations, in addition to theoretical instruction.

CPR is an emergency procedure performed when the heart stops functioning or breathing ceases, and if administered within 6 minutes of cardiac arrest, it can increase the survival rate up to three times.

A county official stated, “Prompt initial response to accidents, which can occur anytime and anywhere, is crucial,” adding, “We hope that the training learned today will help protect the safety and lives of county residents.”
