Unveiling of “CPR WRAP” to Handle Sudden Cardiac Arrest

National Hospital Synergizes to Celebrate World Heart Day 2025: Life Support Education & Launch of “CPR Wrap” to Handle Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Surabaya, September 29, 2025 — In commemoration of World Heart Day 2025, National Hospital, together with 50 local residents, held an educational event “Learning Together About Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)” focusing on knowledge and practice of first aid for patients experiencing cardiac arrest.

Through this initiative, National Hospital hopes more people will have basic lifesaving skills to act quickly during cardiac arrest before medical professionals arrive.

As part of strengthening its cardiovascular services, National Hospital presents a range of world-class facilities:

National Hospital Heart Center

As a cardiac care hub, the Heart Center provides comprehensive services including cardiology consultations, interventional procedures (cardiac catheterization), cardiac rehabilitation, and chronic heart disease management.

CT Scan Somatom Force 1152 Slice “In a Single Breath”

National Hospital operates the Somatom Force 1152-slice CT Scan — the most advanced dual-source CT technology capable of performing cardiac scans in just seconds, even in a single breath. This technology reduces respiratory artifacts, speeds up examinations, and enhances patient comfort, especially for children (as breath-holding is minimized) (Siemens Healthineers).

Advantages of this technology include:

1. High speed and detailed imaging quality (temporal resolution ~66 ms) (Siemens Healthineers)
2. Adaptability for difficult, elderly, or unstable patients (Siemens Healthineers)
3. Reduced radiation dose and more efficient contrast media usage (more “kidney-friendly”) (Siemens Healthineers)
4. Flexibility of scanning without the need for breath-holding in certain patient groups (Siemens Healthineers)

Emergency Room & Cath Lab with Artis Icono Biplane

To support emergency cardiac interventions, National Hospital also operates a Cath Lab equipped with the Artis Icono Biplane — an advanced angiography system that enables visualization from two angles simultaneously, expediting diagnosis and treatment in critical cardiac conditions (such as acute infarction).

In addition, the Emergency Room at National Hospital is on 24-hour standby for resuscitation, stabilization, and coordinated referrals to specialized cardiology services when needed.

On this occasion, National Hospital invites the community to:

1. Actively learn the basics of CPR and first aid for cardiac emergencies
2. Improve heart health through a healthy lifestyle (regular exercise, balanced diet, controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, and avoiding smoking)
3. Support local initiatives to expand “cardiac response service points” in communities
4. Make use of National Hospital’s premier cardiac services when needed.
