Students get trauma care training
Ludhiana, November 15 Students were apprised of basics of emergency life support procedures by Dr Pramod Sood, consultant who heads the emergency services at the hospital. Nearly 190 students participated in the programme. The lecture delivered by Dr Sood included management of patients with cardio-respiratory arrest. He emphasised the need for imparting training in basic life-support to every individual and maintained that this would cut down the death rate significantly through better safety and trauma care initiatives on the national highways. Dr Sood said students should know how to give first aid to the victims of fits, heart attack and road accident cases. Procedures, which included right method for chest compression, were also demonstrated. He pointed out that in view of rapid growth in vehicle ownership , India's road safety infrastructure was rudimentary and its trauma care capability distressingly inadequate. "A vehicle accident is reported every three minutes A trauma-related death occurs in India every 1.9 minutes. Majority of fatal road-traffic accident victims are pedestrians, two wheeler-riders and cyclists. It is in this context that SPS Apollo Hospital has initiated a programme to impart training to the students and to people from different walks of life. These measures will initially cover all schools and colleges in the city and its periphery. And later whole of Punjab will be covered”, he said. He explained in detail the symptoms of heart attack and stroke and the importance of early transportation to the hospital so that the medical professionals could successfully handle the case. During the interactive session, Dr Sood dealt with various queries put forward by students which included management of poisoning and head injury. The training programme was organised with the help of Dr Varinder Kaur Thind, Principal of the college, Ms Hem Kanta and Ms Nirupma Sood, both lecturers in chemistry and members of the District Red Cross Society. Mr Manish Kumar, Mr Venkat, Mr Tarun Katoch and Mr Vishal Suri from Apollo were also present at the training programme.

Toddlers get acquainted with pets
Ludhiana, November 15 The show was attended by over 100 students and their parents. On display were puppies, kittens, hamsters, guinea pigs, turkeys, fishes and rabbits. According to Principal Balli Kaler, the idea behind organising the show was to teach kids the virtue of companionship with animals. Often, lack of positive experiences with people and animals contributed to future acts of violence. Importantly, these violent acts began with animals. Engaging children in positive, educational experiences with animals was an effort to promote positive lifestyle. This was an essential step towards combating society’s current struggle with increasing
violence and crime. "Childhood violence toward animals, and pets in particular, has proved to be a precursor to future acts of violence. Through organising such shows, we are committed to teaching positive skills to children through their relationships with animals," said Dr Amanvir Kaur of Vets for Pets.
