We are delighted to bring you a special edition of our CPR event, highlighting the remarkable CPR event that recently took place at our school. It was an unforgettable day filled with learning, empowerment, and a renewed commitment to saving lives. Here’s a recap of the event that made a lasting impact on our students and educators.
The training sessions was led by Dr. Femi Ogunremi as the event kick started with an introductory lecture for nine (9) basic six (6) students explaining the organs involved in the Cardiopulmonary System and they all work together to keep us alive . Through interactive demonstrations and conversations, students learned the basic functions
of the heart, lungs and how to respond when there is a sudden halt in all these functions.
One of the students were opportune to share a real life story of how her sibling was choking on a his food at the dinner table at home and how scared she was because obviously she taught her brother was about to die but fortunately her dad immediately performed an abdominal thrust on him which help to expel the piece of food blocking his airway and he was fine . This story emphasized the importance of immediate action in life threatening situation.
After getting the students familiar with the Cardiopulmonary System and its functions, the instructor went further by teaching an Acronym (wordplay) to aid them remember the steps to perform effective CPR. A practical/roleplay session demonstrating the whole process of CPR ranging from safety first till the patient is kept in a recovery position.
To reinforce the CPR training, we organized realistic simulation exercises where students had the opportunity to practice their skills in simulated
emergency scenarios. This hands-on experience allowed them to apply their knowledge under guided supervision, building their confidence and competence.
