Basic Life Support Training for Cyclists

There have recently been frequent reports of people dying during or after cycling. Through this community service activity, FK Unjani provided Basic Life Support (BLS) training for cyclists as one solution should such incidents occur in the field. The activity was organized by lecturers, administrative staff, and undergraduate and professional-stage medical students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani. It included BLS material presented by dr. Arinta Sari, SpJP, followed by simulations and hands-on practice on manikins performed directly by the cyclists to improve their understanding of each step. The activity continued with material on bicycle maintenance presented by Mr. Djoko Winarso and moderated by dr. Roro Desire Nataliningrum, SpOk, MKK. Through this activity, it is hoped that first aid will be more successful when emergencies occur while cycling.
