JAKARTA – Cardiac arrest is a dangerous, fatal condition that happens when the heart stops beating and halts the oxygen-carrying blood flow from reaching the entire body. In 4-6 minutes, this can cause permanent brain damage. For such reason, learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is necessary for everyone.
CPR is a key medical procedure to save people with cardiac arrest. For every minute that passes without resuscitation, the chances of survival decrease by 10%. More immediate action can significantly improve this rate.
Recalling the importance of mastering this skill, Korindo Group extends another opportunity for its staff to learn the basic emergency aid. On Friday (1/31), hundreds of employees came together from various departments to listen about CPR from trainer dr. Fazillah at the Korindo Headquarters.
“The first step when finding an unconscious person is to check for pulse and breathing. If there are none, it’s important to provide immediate basic life support through CPR,” dr. Fazillah explained.
This event was received well by Public Relations staff Ariella Shan. For her, cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not merely medical knowledge, but a key, life-saving skill if applied properly and swiftly.
“I think mastering effective CPR procedure at home and at work allows us to provide first aid and rescue those trapped in unwanted incidents.”

Corporate CPR training is part of the main steps to implementing occupational safety and health at the workplace. This activity not only targets company medical officers and paramedics, but also ordinary staff, who, like the former, can also become first responders in an accident. In fact, the higher the number of workers trained, the higher the chance for immediate treatment to happen. (PR)
