Pre-hospital Trauma Care: Saves a Life

Workshop and talk

From 10:00 to 13:00

Workshop on Steps for Immediate life Support in Road Traffic Injuries for Bystanders

Every year, hundreds of lives are cut short as a result of road crashes. The socio-economic burden of road crashes is disproportionately borne by families of road crashes victims. The crashes are preventable with the implementation of data-led interventions and evidence based approaches to saving lives. Training bystanders on care after road traffic injuries can create a large network of individuals equipped with knowledge and immediate life-saving skills. These individuals when present at the emergency scene as responder/bystanders will improve the chances of survival and reducing the severity of injuries. The Workshop will be conducted by subject experts

Open to IIC members and staff members of IIC

At 16:00

Pre-hospital Trauma care saves a life

Speaker: Dr. Subodh Kumar, Professor of Trauma Surgery, JPN Apex Trauma Centre, AIIMS, New Delhi

Chair: Dr. Ashwani Kumar

Followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Sushma Sagar, Dr. Amit Gupta, and Dr. Subodh Kumar, Professors of Trauma Surgery, JPN Apex Trauma Centre, AIIMS; Dr. Sanjeev Lalwani, Professor of Forensic Medicine, JPN Apex Trauma Centre, AIIMS; and Dr. Tej Prakash Sinha, Addl. Professor, Dept. of Emergency Medicine, JPN Apex Trauma Centre, AIIMS

In the city of Delhi, injured persons are usually transferred by police PCR vans, CATS ambulances and patients’ relatives. Only very few bystanders come forward and help these trauma victims. More and more bystanders (laypersons) should help these injured people in reaching the nearby hospital in a safe and timely manner and be a ‘GOOD SAMARITAN’.  The Good Samaritan Law allows a person, without expectation of payment or reward and without any duty of care or special relationship, voluntarily come forward to administer immediate assistance or emergency care to a person injured in an accident, or crash, or emergency medical condition. Good Samaritan Law protects Good Samaritans from harassment on the actions being taken by them to save the life of the road accident victims.

Laypersons can also be trained in various immediate life support procedures such as control of bleeding, splinting of fractured limbs, protection of backbone (spine) while shifting etc.
 

The Philosophy of Dara Shikoh

Speaker: Dr Naresh, scholar, novelist and poet;  formerly Professor at Panjab University, Chandigarh where he held the Bhai Vir Singh Chair in Modern Literature, Chairman, Chandigarh Sahitya Academy. The author and translator of over one hundred books in several languages, a recent work is Alakh Prakash, a Hindi rendering of Dara Shikoh’s translation and commentary on 50 Upanishads titled Sirr-i-Akbar, published by the Madhya Pradesh Urdu Akademi.

Chair: Prof. Akhlaque Ahmad ‘Ahan”, Chairperson, Centre for Persian and Central Asian Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University

Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Shah Jahan who would have been Mughal Emperor was a Vedanti Sufi who was executed by his younger brother, Aurangzeb. To date his thought represents a quest for truth and a spiritual philosophy which would bring together different religious traditions. A follower of Sarmad Kashani and Miyan Mir he tried to arrive at a common ground between Hinduism and Islam. The lecture will delve into the conceptual universe of the saval-javab or conversation with Baba Lal, Dara’s translation of the Upanishads and the Majma?-ul-ba?rain, or, The mingling of the two oceans.
