2023 Edition:
For the 10th consecutive year Cemec offers the population an evening dedicated to: "PEDIATRICAL FIRST AID" according to the "Viva!" project.
Viva! It is an awareness campaign that aims to spread knowledge of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers in Italy . It was born in 2013 thanks to the Italian Resuscitation Council (IRC) which accepted the invitation of the European Union and the European Resuscitation Council (ERC). https://www.ircouncil.it/progetti/viva/
The topic of first aid for children and newborns will be addressed and there will be a short demonstration on patient simulators (mannequins) of foreign body obstruction.
The evening is free, but you are still asked to send: free event participation form
CEMEC hosts an inspiring event on the importance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, with over 120 attendees
The European Centre for Disaster Medicine recently hosted a successful event inspired by the European Resuscitation Council. On 27 October, more than 120 people came together to shed light on the seriousness of a condition that affects over 400,000 Europeans each year: cardiac arrest.
Professor Bernd Böttiger, former President of the European Resuscitation Council ERC, highlighted as early as 2012 how timely administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can significantly increase survival rates.
Here's a real fact: While 70% of cardiac arrests in Europe occur in the presence of others, only 15% receive CPR. Quoting the European Resuscitation Council, this alarming statistic highlights the urgency of the issue. Increasing resuscitation rates to 50-60% could potentially save around 100,000 lives per year.
Attendees at the event had the opportunity to listen to expert speakers and receive CPR training while being inspired by life-saving stories. Participants not only gained the skills to save lives, but also learned how to teach others in their communities.
The European Centre for Disaster Medicine remains deeply committed to saving lives, and the responsibility now falls on all of us to ensure that more people in Europe receive CPR when they need it.
