9. When Saad was young, his grandmother was diagnosed with hepatitis B. This illness loomed over their family, a silent but constant reminder of her fragile health.

10. A few years later, when Saad was in O'levels, he came home from school to a scene that would forever be etched in his memory. His grandmother was vomiting blood. The rush to the hospital was frantic, but the doctors managed to save her.

11. After she returned home, she told Saad, "When you grow up, you will become a doctor and treat me." At the time, the weight of this statement was lost on Saad, a young boy unable to grasp the full meaning behind her words.

12. A few months later, his grandmother left for her hometown. That was the last time Saad saw her, held her in his arms. Nearly a year later, Saad's father received a call. After picking up the phone, his father began to cry loudly. Saad's mother hurried to pack their clothes, while Saad, just 15 years old and in class 8, stood in confusion, not fully understanding what was happening. They told Saad that his grandmother had passed away. The reality of the situation hadn't sunk in yet, or perhaps Saad was simply unable to comprehend it.

13. They boarded a plane with 25 other family members and reached their hometown. When Saad entered his house, he saw his grandmother covered in a white cloth. At that moment, he broke down in tears. The vivid memory of those tears and every word spoken replays in Saad's mind every single day. It was perhaps on that day that Saad decided to become a doctor.

14. Years later, during his A'levels, Saad's life was struck by tragedy again. He lost his uncle to COVID- 19. Six months later, another uncle succumbed to a possible brain cancer. Almost seven months after that, Saad's grandfather also passed away. The day Saad buried his grandfather, he received an email notification. He had been accepted at United Medical and Dental College.

15. A few years forward, driven by a deep desire to help people, Saad connected with another person who had a similar story. Together, they launched the organization "Revive"

22. UNDERSTANDING DRS ABCD IN BASIC LIFE SUPPORT: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

23. INTRODUCTION TO DRS ABCD DRS ABCD is a vital framework in Basic Life Support (BLS). This guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of each step, ensuring effective response in emergency situations. By mastering these principles, you can significantly improve survival rates during critical incidents.

24. WHAT IS DRS ABCD? DRS ABCD stands for Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, Circulation, and This systematic Defibrillation. approach helps rescuers assess and manage emergencies effectively. Understanding each component is crucial for providing timely and appropriate care.

25. The first step is to assess for Danger. Ensure the scene is safe for both the rescuer and the victim. Look for potential hazards, such as traffic, fire, or electrical risks. Only proceed when it is safe to do so. STEP 1: DANGER

26. STEP 2: RESPONSE Next, check for Response. Gently shake the person and ask if they are okay. If they do not respond, it indicates a potential emergency. Then check for Pulse. This step is crucial to determine the need for further action.

27. Step 3: Send for Help If there is no response, the next step is to Send for help. Call emergency services or instruct someone else to do so. Providing clear information about the situation can expedite assistance and potentially save lives.

28. Once help is on the way, assess the Airway. Ensure that the airway is clear and open. If the person is unresponsive, use the head- tilt, chin-lift OR Jaw Thurst maneuver to open the airway and check for obstructions. STEP 4: AIRWAY

29. AIRWAY

30. Step 5: Breathing After securing the airway, check for Breathing. Look, listen, and feel for normal breathing for no more than 10 seconds. If the person is not breathing or only gasping, begin CPR immediately.

31. STEP 6: CIRCULATION The next component is Circulation. If the person is unresponsive and not breathing, initiate chest compressions. This is critical for maintaining blood flow to vital organs until professional help arrives.

32. STEP 7: DEFIBRILLATION Finally, if available, use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) as soon as possible. Follow the device's prompts to deliver a shock if indicated. Early defibrillation can dramatically increase survival rates in cases of cardiac arrest.
