CPR involves procedures to manually preserve brain and heart function until medical treatment can restore normal heart rhythm. It includes chest compressions, rescue breathing, and defibrillation if needed. The major goals of CPR are to provide oxygen to vital organs and restore spontaneous blood circulation until definitive medical treatments take over. CPR procedures involve opening the airway, providing rescue breaths, performing chest compressions, and using a defibrillator to restore a normal heart rhythm if indicated. Ongoing care after CPR aims to optimize cardiovascular and respiratory function and prevent further cardiac arrests.
CPR involves procedures to manually maintain heartbeat and breathing when these functions have stopped. It provides oxygen to vital organs until medical treatment can restore normal heart function. CPR consists of opening the airway, providing rescue breaths, and external chest compressions to circulate blood.

Major incidents are events that require extraordinary emergency response efforts due to the number, severity, or type of casualties. They present a serious threat to public health or cause significant disruption to healthcare services. Major incidents go through several phases from pre-impact preparation to post-impact recovery and mitigation. The response follows a similar process with commands established at different tiers - bronze at the incident site, silver for the entire scene, and gold remotely. At the scene, safety of responders, survivors, and the site take highest priority. Communications are critical and various methods are used including radios, phones, and visual signals. Casualties are triaged and treated according to priority levels before evacuation to hospitals based on their condition. Multiple

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
