VT Seva Maryland Team Hosts Successful On November 24th, 2024, the VT Seva Maryland team organized a comprehensive CPR training session, aligned with the American Heart Association's (AHA) guidelines. This engaging and informative experience equipped participants with essential skills to respond effectively in emergency situations. The training covered critical topics, including CPR techniques, burn management, abdominal thrusts for choking victims, and effective blood loss control. Through hands-on scenarios, participants learned the importance of remaining calm and decisive during emergencies, while also emphasizing teamwork and quick thinking. This experience not only imparted knowledge about CPR and emergency response but also provided practical skills that can be applied in daily life. Participants gained confidence in handling situations involving burns, choking, blood loss, and cardiac emergencies. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Ms. Sharon and Ms. Tamara for their expertise and guidance throughout the training. We are proud to announce that the following youth leaders are now CPR certified and ready to respond in case of need: - Mridula Vasudevan - Mahati Konduri - Yashmita Dillibabu - Inika Keranahalli - Sreedhav Jayaraman - Hasini Viswasarathy - Divya Putthana - Akanksha Subramaniam - Sana Shenoy I appreciate everyone who contributed to the success of this event.
