New Delhi: Dr. Devi Shetty, a prominent cardiologist, stressed the importance of CPR training for the public, highlighting its role in medical emergencies. He emphasized the critical window known as the "golden hour," where swift emergency response can be life-saving. This concept involves providing rapid clinical investigation and care within 60 minutes of a traumatic injury, although the timeframe may vary based on severity. For example, in brain stroke cases, the first hour is crucial, while for cardiac arrest or heart attack, individuals have a four to six-hour window. Dr. Shetty, Founder and Chairman of Narayana Health, urged people to understand the significance of the golden hour and emphasized the importance of not only reaching the emergency room promptly but also accessing the appropriate medical facility for optimal care during stroke or life-threatening accidents. Dr. Shetty elaborated on the consequences of landing in the wrong hospital during a medical emergency, highlighting that it could lead to significant delays in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately resulting in irreversible damage. He emphasized that timely intervention at the right hospital can often reverse much of the damage to the heart muscle. However, once the golden hour passes, even extensive financial resources may not suffice to save a life. To raise awareness about the critical importance of the golden hour, Narayana Health has launched "InsidER," India's pioneering medical docu-series. This series, comprising ten gripping episodes, will premiere exclusively on Jio Cinema, Jio TV, and TV+ on March 27, depicting real-life stories of patients confronting life-threatening emergencies. Dr. Shetty urged the public to acquire CPR skills and knowledge about the nearest hospital equipped with a CATH lab to handle heart attacks, as well as awareness of stroke-ready facilities. Additionally, he advised individuals at risk of brain stroke to identify the best neurosurgical and neurology institutes for prompt intervention.
