 It brings me immense pleasure to recount the insights garnered from the CPR workshop orchestrated by Smt. B Naga Jyothirmai, a distinguished faculty member of Zoology, which took place on March 28, 2024. Facilitating the session was the esteemed Secretary of the Indian Red Cross, Sri Mohan Krishna, who conducted a comprehensive demonstration employing a manikin.

Throughout the workshop, Sri Mohan Krishna expounded upon the fundamental principles encapsulated in the DR ABC approach to CPR – Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. Emphasizing the critical significance of CPR, he elucidated its pivotal role in preserving life during emergencies. Demonstrating the technique with precision, Sri Mohan Krishna elucidated each step, showcasing the process adeptly with the aid of the manikin.

The DR ABC principle stands as a cornerstone in CPR methodology, serving as a structured framework for responders to follow in emergency situations. It entails assessing the surrounding for potential dangers, eliciting a response from the victim, ensuring clear airways, initiating breathing, and sustaining circulation through chest compressions.

By delineating the intricacies of CPR and illustrating its application through practical demonstration, the workshop provided invaluable insights into life-saving techniques. It not only equipped participants with essential knowledge but also instilled confidence in their ability to respond effectively during crises.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical emergency procedure that can save lives in situations such as cardiac arrest. The steps involved in CPR typically follow the DR ABC approach, which stands for Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. Here's a breakdown of each step:

1. D: Danger: Before approaching the victim, it's crucial to assess the surrounding environment for any potential dangers to yourself or others. Ensure the scene is safe before proceeding.

2. R: Response: Once you've determined the scene is safe, approach the victim and assess their responsiveness by gently tapping and shouting, "Are you okay?" If there is no response, it's essential to quickly summon emergency medical services (EMS) or ask someone else to do so.

3. A: Airway: Carefully position the victim on their back on a firm surface. Open the airway by tilting their head back and lifting the chin upward. This helps ensure that the airway is clear and unobstructed, allowing for effective breathing.

4. B: Breathing: After clearing the airway, check for signs of normal breathing for no more than 10 seconds. Look for chest rise and fall, listen for breath sounds, and feel for exhaled air on your cheek. If the victim is not breathing normally, provide rescue breaths.

 - Pinch the victim's nose closed.

 - Make a complete seal over their mouth with yours.

 - Deliver two rescue breaths, each lasting about one second, while watching for chest

   rise.

  - If the chest does not rise, reposition the head and try again.

 5. C: Circulation: If the victim is still unresponsive and not breathing normally, initiate chest compressions to help circulate oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. To perform chest compressions:

  - Place the heel of one hand on the center of the victim's chest, between the nipples.

  - Place the other hand on top of the first hand, interlocking fingers.

  - Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly over your hands.

  - Push down hard and fast, aiming for a depth of at least 2 inches in adults and

     adolescents, and about 1.5 inches in children.

  - Allow the chest to recoil completely between compressions.

  - Perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.

6. Repeat: Continue cycles of 30 chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths. Remember to reassess for signs of normal breathing and circulation regularly and continue CPR until help arrives or the victim shows signs of life.

CPR is a crucial skill, but it's essential to seek formal training and certification to perform it effectively and confidently during emergencies.

Million thanks to Mohan Krishna sir, Manoj, internee from our college for their demonstrative skills and Smt B Naga Jyothirmai for arranging an useful session.

 After attending the Research Review Meet at Yogi Vemana University, Dr. B. Sreedevi, Manohar Naik, Ruhinaz, and I proceeded to Government Degree College for Women in Pulivendula, upon the invitation of Dr. U. Sreenitha. Along the way, we made a brief stop at GDC Pendlimarri before arriving at GDC (W) Pulivendula. We were impressed by the remarkable infrastructure of the college. Upon our arrival, we found the students to be exceptionally disciplined, with nearly 200 individuals from various academic backgrounds gathered in the auditorium for an interactive session.

I had the opportunity to speak extensively on effective study strategies at the undergraduate level. Subsequently, I engaged in exclusive interaction with the Zoology students. The experience of spending time with the students at GDC (W), Pulivendula, was indeed delightful and rewarding.

Zoology TOT from 11th march 2024 to 15th march 2024. 

In the annals of the Zoology department at Government College (A) Anantapur, a significant historical event unfolded. The department ushered in a new era by integrating Z space programs into its curriculum, providing students with unprecedented opportunities. Business Solutions Manager, Sri Sachin Mahendru, facilitated this advancement by providing a dedicated laptop on March 15, 2024.

This initiative revolutionized the teaching of Physiology under the banner of Vivid Anatomy, offering students access to a plethora of 3D models. Hardware and software support for the integration of this cutting-edge technology were provided in the Zoology lab. The installation process was efficiently completed with invaluable assistance from our students, Damu and Mahesh Goud.

With the implementation of this technology, Zoology students can now immerse themselves in the study of physiology like never before. Virtual projections of the heart and brain onto screens enhance the learning experience, blurring the lines between virtual and reality. Credit is owed to CCE for selecting our department for this groundbreaking AR & VR installation.

Within a single day, the installation was completed, and a hands-on workshop was promptly organized in Room no. 19. Faculty members from both the Sciences & Arts departments convened, where Mr. Sachin demonstrated the operation of this AR & VR technology, marking a pivotal moment in the department's educational journey.

Our faculty members from today onwards make learning a life time experience 

 

Today Dr Sunil Kumar Reddy, Smt Jameela Beebi & myself have visited SV ITI, Anantapur at 5 PM and interacted with more than 100 students belonging to different trades
