The Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists, Nagpur City Branch (ISANCB), conducted a Compression-Only Life Support (COLS), Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS), and Pancharakshak awareness activity at Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur, on 19 October 2026.

The programme aimed to promote awareness of essential life-saving skills and highlight the importance of recognising cardiac emergencies and responding promptly.

Life-Saving Demonstrations and Pancharakshak Awareness

Dr Leena Gedam, Honorary Secretary, ISANCB, presented a Pancharakshak awareness video to introduce participants to the five life-saving skills and their importance in emergency response.

The COLS and BCLS demonstrations were supported by Dr Vishal, Dr Niketan, Dr Tapasya, and Dr Karuna, who helped demonstrate essential life-support techniques to the attendees.

The programme received a positive response, with approximately 300 undergraduate students attending and engaging with the life-saving awareness activity.

Promoting Life-Saving Knowledge Among Students

The initiative provided an opportunity to introduce a large group of undergraduate students to basic life-support concepts and the importance of timely intervention during cardiac emergencies.

Through demonstrations and educational resources, ISANCB continued its efforts to spread life-saving awareness among young people and encourage wider understanding of emergency response skills.

The activity at Deekshabhoomi reflected ISANCB’s commitment to promoting COLS, BCLS, and Pancharakshak awareness and building a community that is better informed about life-saving techniques.
