Timely administration of CPR is crucial in saving lives; increases chances of survival by 2-3 times, says Dr Ankur Ahuja

A young person collapses on the treadmill. Another is found unconscious in the bathroom. A flight passenger starts gasping for breath and sweating profusely. All three suffered a cardiac arrest wherein their hearts stopped beating suddenly. However, all three individuals could be saved with the timely administration of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

Reports show that about 4,280 people per lakh population suffer a cardiac arrest every year in the country. It is important to note that nearly 90% of all individuals who get a cardiac arrest outside a hospital, are unable to survive. Dr. Ankur Ahuja, Senior Consultant, Department of Cardiology, Fortis Hospital Mohali, sheds light on why timely administration of CPR can be a life saver.

What is a CPR?
CPR is a process wherein chest compressions and often, rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth) are given to maintain circulatory flow during a cardiac arrest. Stating that CPR should be given at the rate of 100 to 120 times per minute, Dr Ahuja, added, “It is remarkable to note that CPR increases the chances of survival of a person by 2-3 times.”

BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) - Public opinion towards China in the United States and other advanced economies has turned "precipitously more negative" under President Xi Jinping, according to a global survey by the Pew Research Center.

Xi, 69, is widely expected to win a precedent-breaking third five-year term as leader at a Communist Party congress that begins in Beijing on Oct. 16, securing his status as China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong.

While China's economic rise and its investments were seen as a positive for some Latin American, Middle Eastern and African countries, economic competition with China was seen as a "serious problem" in advanced economies like Japan, South Korea, the United States and Australia, according to Pew.

The survey, published on Wednesday, found that unfavourable views of China in developed economies had hovered in a relatively narrow band between 2002-2017, before worsening amid concerns including human rights and military power, with some of the sharpest changes between 2019 and 2020, Washington-based Pew said.

The shift in opinion was triggered partly by perceptions of China's handling of COVID-19, which emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019, as well as a trade war with the United States, aggressive foreign policy and a military buildup in the South China Sea.

In the United States, 82% of respondents this year expressed an "unfavourable opinion" of China, up from 79% in 2020.

The percentage of those who said they had "no confidence" in Xi to do the "right thing regarding world affairs" was 87% in South Korea in 2022, up from 29% in 2015. In Britain, the figure increased to 70% in 2022 from 44% in 2014.
