Ulsan Office of Education Produces and Releases CPR Training Video

Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education recently produced a CPR training video to save lives in case of cardiac arrest or emergency situations in celebration of National Safety Day, and released it on the education office's YouTube channel.


Ulsan Office of Education plans to inform all schools so that the CPR video can be used in safety education and survival swimming classes.


The 5-minute video guides the response procedures from the moment a student discovers a collapsed patient, tailored to real-life situations.


In particular, the video introduces the core of CPR?chest compressions and artificial respiration?through a demonstration by a student following the guidance of health teacher Kim Sun-young.


CPR is a life-saving method used when a cardiac arrest patient occurs. If CPR is not performed within the golden time of 4 minutes, blood cannot be delivered to the brain, which can cause brain cell damage as well as death.

The video proceeds in the order of checking the safety around the patient, checking consciousness, calling 119, checking breathing, performing 30 chest compressions, performing 2 artificial respirations, repeating chest compressions and artificial respirations, using an automated external defibrillator, and checking the patient.


Kim Jin-hyun, a 6th-grade student at Seongan Elementary School who appeared in the video, said, “I hope the CPR video will definitely help my friends,” and added, “I feel proud to have completed it by practicing little by little with the health teacher.”


An official from Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education said, “Accidents happen so suddenly and in an instant, and can happen to anyone,” and added, “We hope our students can muster the courage to respond if they ever face such a situation.”
