日本語On September 23, Side by Side International (SBSI) hosted an impressive workshop, “Basic Life Support (BLS) for baby, young children and adult” at Preah Kossamak Hospital. There were 59 participants including medical doctors, nurses, interns and medical students. In this 4-hour workshop, the lectures were given by a Japanese doctor, Dr. Shogo Akabame, Japanese nurse, Ms. Shiho Miyauchi and Dr. Tunchhum Rathanak from MTI.
BLS is a level of medical care which is used for victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital. This workshop gave opportunity for the medical staff who didn’t have knowledge about BLS to learn it and other staff who had knowledge but never practiced with mannequin and AEDs to practice with the guidance from experts. We believe this will help them to conduct the BLS to the emergency patients, which will increase the possibility for them to survive. SBSI will continue those medical workshops to educate medical workers and students, in order to increase the survival rate of the victims in this country.
