Hands-on Training on Emergency Care and Life Support Equipment

The Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Biomedingers Association organized a hands-on training on “Emergency Care and Life Support Equipment” on 11.07.2026 for III and IV year Biomedical Engineering students. The training aimed to provide practical knowledge and hands-on experience in the operation, handling, and maintenance of essential emergency and life-support equipment used in modern healthcare settings. During the session, the resource persons, Er.S.Gokul and Er.C.Swetha, Service Engineers from Medrian Healthcare, demonstrated the working principles, clinical applications, and safe operation of devices such as the defibrillator, ventilator, syringe pump, infusion pump, patient monitor, suction apparatus, and Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Students actively participated in the practical demonstrations and gained valuable experience in equipment handling, basic troubleshooting, safety protocols, and standard operating procedures followed during emergency patient care. The programme enhanced the participants’ practical skills, strengthened their understanding of life-support technologies, and increased their confidence in handling critical care equipment in real-world clinical environments. Nearly 95 students actively participated in the training, making it an informative, interactive, and skill-oriented learning experience that effectively bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical practice.
