◆Regarding the Presentation of a Certificate of Appreciation for Life-Saving Actions
Release Date:
地域協働学部実習授業にて大阪関西万博を訪問中の９月27日（土）、地域協働学部２年菅野匠真さん、池田章悟さん、大石晴斗さん、山下功祐さんの４名が会場内で倒れた来場者の救助に当たりました。救急隊が到着するまでの間、心臓マッサージ（胸骨圧迫）やAEDの操作、各所への連絡など初期対応を行いました。特に菅野さんは、脈の確認、AEDの適切な使用など落ちついて対応しました。
In recognition of this, on Sunday, October 5, Mr. Sugano was presented with a certificate of appreciation from the Konohana Fire Station of the Osaka City Fire Department and the Crisis Management Bureau of the Public Interest Incorporated Association for the 2025 Japan International Exposition.
The following is a comment from Takuma Sugano.
I am honored to have received this certificate of appreciation. You never know when a person’s heart might stop. If nothing is done and we simply wait for the ambulance to arrive before beginning treatment, the survival rate is extremely low. However, if bystanders perform CPR or administer first aid using an AED, the survival rate can be significantly improved.
I didn’t save this person’s life on my own. Thanks to the cooperation of many people—including my friends who were at the Expo with me, the nurses and doctors who were there at the time, and the security guard who brought the AED—we were able to save a life. Thank you all so much.
CPR involves pressing down on the chest of a person who has collapsed by about 2 inches. To be honest, I was really scared while doing it. But at the time, rather than worrying about that, I was driven by a sense of duty to save the life of the person right in front of me, and my body just moved on its own.
"It is people who save people." I want everyone to keep this in mind.
なお、地域協働学部では日本赤十字社高知県支部にご協力いただき、１年生を対象に授業時間を活用して胸骨圧迫・AED操作などの講習を実施しております。
