The Azzurri 'in class' for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, De Carli: "These meetings are fundamental"
As part of the UEFA's health education program, some members of the Italian Resuscitation Council taught the necessary procedures at Coverciano. Costabile said, "Awareness also stems from the tragic incident that happened to Eriksen at Euro 2020".Wednesday, June 5, 2024
This morning, the Azzurri and the National Team's medical staff met with some members of the IRC, the Italian Resuscitation Council, which is part of the European Resuscitation Council, at Coverciano for a theoretical and practical lesson on cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Awareness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by UEFA also stems from the dramatic episode involving Danish footballer Eriksen. Hoping, of course, that such incidents never occur, what happened in that context is a model to follow, because, besides specialised personnel, all participants collaborated at the scene, including teammates first and foremost.
These meetings arise from the health education program outlined by UEFA. Particularly because of what happened, knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers is considered as important as anti-doping prevention meetings or concussion management, head traumas.
