More than three hundred people have been initiated this Saturday in Cordoba in cardiopulmonary reanimation (CPR) and First Aid through a free public workshop promoted by the Royal Spanish Federation of Rescue and Lifesaving to bring citizens closer to the culture of rescue.

The workshop, which the Royal Spanish Federation of Rescue and Lifesaving develops within the framework of its collaboration with the City Council of Cordoba, has had people of all ages.

Some have been exercised in CPR exercises, others in the Heimlich technique, aimed at airway clearance for choking, in both cases in adults and children, while specific groups have also been formed for action with infants.

Throughout the morning, instructors and lifeguards of the Royal Spanish Federation of Rescue and Lifeguarding framed in the Salvasur Sports Club, reference of rescue and lifeguarding in Andalusia, have attended to the citizens of Cordoba that has been able to access the training in CPR and first aid.

The workshop has been visited by the first Deputy Mayor of the City of Cordoba, Blanca Torrent, the municipal delegate of Culture and Historical Heritage, Isabel Albás, and the head of Civil Protection Service of the Andalusian Government in Cordoba, Pilar Vinuesa.

This workshop is the first of the activities that the Royal Spanish Federation of Rescue and Lifesaving has scheduled for this month in Cordoba.
