In commemoration of the World Anesthesia Day yesterday, the incredible anesthesiologists at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu State (UNTH) hosted an intensive training session on Basic Life Support. The training kicked off with a brief BLS/Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) lecture delivered by Dr Moghalu followed by stories from Dr Arum, Dr Iloabachie, and other anesthesiologists on their practical experiences with delivering adequate BLS and the challenges faced in the country especially regarding the lack of AED (Automated External Defibrillator) devices. We ended the seminar with hands-on practical at different stations on the various aspects of BLS: 🧩Performing CPR on adult dummies 🧩Techniques for using an AMBU(Artificial Manual Breathing Unit) bag 🧩Performing CPR on baby dummies 🧩Intubation (I intubated the oesosphagus on my first trial😅) 🧩Use of oropharyngeal airway kit and Laryngoscope 🧩Questions and Answers Despite receiving numerous official and unofficial CPR lectures, I must say, that the practical aspect was an entirely different experience. In particular, a thought kept recurring to me: "Are your compressions within the 5-6cm depth". I eventually got a hang of the techniques involved in all the stations and administered back-to-back perfect CPRs as indicated by the models😌 It was truly a wonderful session yesterday, and with the practical experience, I am quite confident that in a real emergency, I won't be caught panicking with the crowd. To all anesthesiologists out there - thank you for your expertise and dedication. #WorldAnesthesiaDay #BLS #HealthcareHeroes
