98% Indians not trained to carry out CPR: Survey
Over 98% of Indians are not trained to carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a life-saving technique used to revive a person in situations like heart attack, a survey said. Conducted on one lakh people, the survey found that only 0.1% people ever performed CPR in an emergency. Administering CPR revives a stopped heart and saves the brain from permanent damage.
