21-11-2024
A joint event of the GTU student club and Tbilisi State Medical University (TSU) master class on providing First aid is being held at the Georgian Technical University.
For the first time, the master class is being organized at the Georgian Technical University at the initiative of the GTU Niko Nikoladze’s student club.
The event beneficiaries are Georgian Technical University students and teachers. The project is supported by the TSSU student club “Future Doctors for Georgia”.
As the president of Niko Nikoladze University Club Mariam Kakauridze notes, the project aims to provide students and professors with basic knowledge in First Aid, which the project’s beneficiaries will be able to use in practice.
“The GTU Niko Nikoladze club, with the student club of the Tbilisi State Medical University are implementing a project that provides for conducting First aid master classes for our students and teachers. Our goal is the transfer of basic knowledge and experience in this direction. We believe that such projects ennoble the society, which ultimately affects the welfare of the society. It is important that there is much interest from our peers. This gives us motivation and the basis to make the project much larger,’ says Mariam Kakauridze.
According to Tornike Futkaradze, the founder of the TSU student club “Future Doctors for Georgia”, the two-day First aid master class, which is held at the Georgian Technical University, includes the theoretical part, situational analysis, and evaluations, as well as practical exercises with equipment corresponding to modern standards.
As Tornike Putkaradze explains, after passing the master class, young people will correctly define priorities and provide emergency aid at the pre-hospital stage.
“Any casualty can meet us on the street, at work, in gathering places. It can be a stranger, a friend, or a family member. Timely and correctly detected aid increases the life expectancy of a person. The goal of our joint project is this - for the youth to acquire practical skills in managing a critical condition in the medical direction, correctly define priorities, and be able to provide First aid to any citizen at the pre-hospital stage, i.e. until professional doctors are involved in the management of the patient’s condition,” says Tornike Putkaradze.
As part of the two-day first aid master class, the students and teachers of the Georgian Technical University, along with theoretical training, went through practical exercises in the analysis and management of emergency cases, studied how to quickly and effectively stop bleeding in case of various injuries, correctly place a bandage on a wound, manage cases of intoxication and cardiac arrest, manage the methods of ensuring breathing airways patency, as well as heart massage and artificial respiration.
In the future, the project organizers - the student clubs of Georgian Technical University and Tbilisi State Medical University - plan to expand the First aid master class and hold it in various higher education institutions.
