Marbella will teach how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use a defibrillator

The headquarters of the Youth Delegation of the Marbella City Council will host a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillator (AED) use course on April 11th. This free initiative will take place from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and is organized by the City Council and the Marbella Adventurers platform. The activity aims to provide attendees with basic first aid knowledge that could be crucial in emergency situations.

Councilman Alejandro González has thanked the involvement of the organizing group, emphasizing that "it is essential to support initiatives that originate from young people in the municipality and that contribute to promoting values such as prevention, solidarity, and knowledge of the environment." Additionally, he has encouraged those interested to participate in this event, which "besides being useful in daily life, adds value in the educational and professional field." For his part, the head of Marbella Adventurers, José Manuel Tomillero, explained that the course will cover topics such as how to act in cases of choking, cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques, use of the defibrillator, bandaging, or applying tourniquets.

"The goal is for attendees to acquire basic notions that allow them to act quickly and effectively in an emergency, potentially saving someone else's life or even their own," stated Tomillero, a certified instructor in the field of first aid. He mentioned that the training will combine theoretical and practical parts and will include the participation of other members of the group with experience in this area. Additionally, he specified that places are limited to about thirty, and registration will be done through the social media profiles of Marbella Adventurers.
