B'luru apartment complexes train residents on CPR techniques
While cardiac arrests primarily strike people over 65 years of age, younger individuals below 50 are also at risk. This calls for people around the patient to be aware and prepared to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), which can improve their chances of survival. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Tata Promont in Banashankari came forward to raise awareness by hosting a CPR training programme in collaboration with Manipal Hospital on June 15. The initiative was led by Dr Anjana Ravindranath, head of emergency at Manipal Hospital, Jayanagar. The hour-long session focused on teaching residents how to help an individual experiencing a cardiac arrest using CPR techniques. Priya Shenoy, 48, a resident who works as an ayurvedic doctor, says they were taught how to identify and handle such a situation using a dummy model. 'The safety protocols to perform chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth CPR were also discussed,' she says. Residents learnt about the 'Good Samaritan law', which legally protects people performing CPR, in case strong chest compressions lead to the patient suffering a rib injury. They were also advised to use CPR masks to prevent transmission of infections while still allowing airflow during mouth-to-mouth CPR. 68-year-old Shobha Gandhi also attended the session along with her husband. She expressed difficulty in kneeling down to perform traditional CPR, having undergone bilateral knee surgery. The doctor and team suggested she could help by guiding another person to do it. 'They explained how to respond if the patient is choking or suffering from a seizure, and advised us to keep emergency medicines like Ecosprin ready for those at risk of heart attacks,' she says. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Apartment complexes should also consider installing an automated external defibrillator (AED), a device that gives electric shocks to try and restore a normal heartbeat during a cardiac arrest. An AED can cost Rs 50,000 to Rs 2 lakh, and the person using it requires training. Apollo Hospital in Seshadripuram has worked with complexes like Jains Aashraya on Bannerghatta Road, and ETA Gardens in Majestic, to conduct these sessions. Ajmera Infinity in Electronics City worked with Fortis Hospital to conduct a CPR training session in May. 'Residents, especially senior citizens, actively participated in this session, making it one of our successful initiatives,' says Sony K, member of the management committee. Three years ago, Prestige Shantiniketan in Whitefield conducted a CPR training workshop in collaboration with Aster CMI Hospital in Hebbal. Kinder Hospital has engaged in conducting a similar workshop with SLV Apartments in Avalahalli. 'Residents had multiple doubts related to chest compressions and the precautions needed to ensure the safety of the patient,' says Dr SK Mohanty, chief anesthetist and medical director at Kinder Hospital. Diya Hussain V A Voice Box I try to be self-reliant by reducing dependency on my family and making healthy choices, but in case of a sudden cardiac arrest, I expect people to know CPR, the same way I've prepared myself to help others in need Shobha Gandhi Shobha Gandhi, 68, RESIDENT, TATA PROMONT, BANASHANKARI As a regular traveller who has witnessed cases of cardiac emergency in various places, I feel it's necessary for everyone to know how to perform CPR and such training sessions can help make that possible Birendra Sharma, 60, RESIDENT, AJMERA INFINITY, ELECTRONICS CITY We use adult and pediatric mannequins to ensure the correct demonstration and make sure the instructions to perform CPR are clear and concise Dr Himaaldev G J Dr Himaaldev GJ, HEAD OF CRITICAL CARE, APOLLO HOSPITAL, SESHADRIPURAM

Ashram to Badarpur: Why this 8 km Delhi stretch takes 45 mins instead of 15; Key reasons behind Mathura Road chaos
Travelling between Ashram and Badarpur on Delhi's Mathura Road has become a daily nightmare for thousands of motorists. According to a TOI report, what should ideally be an 8-km, 15-minute drive now takes up to 45 minutes during peak hours. What's causing the chaos? This stretch, part of National Highway 2 (NH2), carries over four lakh vehicles daily, rising to five lakh on Mondays and Fridays. After 9 pm, it's opened to heavy trucks entering or leaving Delhi, making things worse. The major reason behind the jams? Poor road design, with multiple cuts between the two carriageways causing heavy blockages. Key trouble spots Even before you leave Ashram, traffic starts to pile up. The underpass meant to ease flow is often blocked due to vehicles turning towards Lajpat Nagar and Sarai Kale Khan. Further down, junctions at Okhla, Mata Mandir Marg, CRRI, and Apollo Hospital remain choked, especially the one near the hospital, with traffic coming from all sides. Failed fixes and long waits Delhi Traffic Police tried easing the mess by closing cuts like the one at Madanpur Khadar. But cars are now forced to take long U-turns at flyovers, offering only minor relief. At the Okhla-New Friends Colony crossing, vehicles from the Modi Mill side and Jullena end up criss-crossing, leading to long queues even during green signals. A TOI reporter noted that handcarts, wrongly parked vehicles, and fuel queues also eat up road space. CRRI expert S Velmurugan pointed out that the road lacks proper merging lanes and width consistency, making matters worse. Live Events A glimmer of hope? The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) may soon take over the road and turn it into a signal-free corridor, as per TOI. While Public Works Department (PWD) had proposed flyovers and underpasses back in 2017, the plan never materialised. Experts suggest that just removing traffic lights won't help. A well-planned elevated road, with proper entry and exit points, may finally bring relief. CRRI scientist Nasim Akhtar added that flyovers at Okhla Mor and synchronised traffic signals are urgently needed. Until a long-term fix arrives, however, Delhiites will continue to face this exhausting drive daily. Inputs from TOI
