He shared the basics of first aid and gave demonstrations of giving CPR, artificial breath and clearing the wind pipe of patients. He elaborated the ABC process of saving a person and emphasised on to ensure that the process is done withinin 10 seconds. After explaining the individual activities under ABC, he described the protocol of using them in an organised way collectively. He also gave a check list to the audiences that needs to be checked before proceeding to act on the patient. He concluded his talk by reminding the audience that the foremost act is to seek medical help at the earliest and to work as a team to avoid panic and tiredness. He also role played one of the actual case of an accident victim, to summarise the session learnings.
