Two Viral CPR Saves Renew Push for Training and Emergency Care Scrutiny

The clips are prompting fresh calls to teach basic life support more widely.

Overview

  • Two separate videos show CPR reviving uniformed personnel in Patna and in Morena, drawing national attention to fast bystander action in cardiac crises.
  • In Patna, a Bihar traffic constable named Anjani Kumar Gaurav performed chest compressions near Mithapur Bypass, and the CISF jawan began breathing again in about 30 seconds.
  • In Morena, locals revived a CRPF jawan with CPR, then reportedly faced a private nursing home’s refusal to admit him first over the absence of family and later over no available doctor, so relatives took him to another hospital.
  • The Patna footage, shared by Bihar Police, won broad praise online and spurred users to urge CPR lessons in schools and routine training for frontline staff.
  • CPR keeps blood moving to the brain and organs through firm, repeated chest presses, following the CAB steps of compressions, airway, and breathing, which can buy crucial minutes until clinicians take over.
