Golden Time of Life 4 Minutes CPR...Incheon St. Mary's Hospital operates an experience booth
Jul 07, 2025
On the 4th, Catholic University of Korea's Incheon St. Mary's Hospital (Hospital Director Hong Seung-mo Monsignol) operated a CPR experience booth in the lobby on the first floor of the new building.
This event was designed to spread a culture of respect for life through first aid education and to develop quick and accurate initial response capabilities in case of an emergency. The experience booth, which was held under the theme of 'Life's Golden Time 4 Minutes', received great response from visitors, patient guardians, and medical staff.
At the experience booth, CPR practice using hands-on mannequins and training on how to use an automatic cardiac shocker (AED) were conducted. Participants had time to learn the correct first aid methods, such as directly performing chest compression and repeatedly experiencing the procedure for operating the cardiac shocker through experience assuming real situations.
"In order to increase the survival rate of patients with cardiac arrest, initial response is more important than anything else," said Lee Un-jeong, a professor of emergency medicine at Catholic University of Korea's Incheon St. Mary's Hospital. "I hope that it will be an opportunity for the general public to learn and practice CPR with the recognition that they can fully save lives."
Meanwhile, Catholic University of Korea's Incheon St. Mary's Hospital has been running CPR training and first aid experience programs for local residents and faculty every year. In the first half of this year, more than 1,500 people completed education, and external educational activities linked to local medical institutions, schools, and religious facilities are also continuing.
