In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health issues have been rising at an alarming rate. People are experiencing mental health issues at a much higher rate than before due to interrupted mental health services and isolation from loved ones. It was observed that strict lockdowns and a rise in death rates caused a severe effect on the minds of the people. Many people lost their dear ones, and many committed suicides due to fear of the disease. Those who were already suffering from anxiety and depression found themselves even more overwhelmed during this time. The increased prevalence of mental health conditions has led to a rise in risk factors for those already suffering and new individuals who may be struggling with symptoms for the first time. In India, roughly, about 56 million Indians suffer from depression, and 38 million suffer from an anxiety disorder. As per the National Mental Health Survey conducted by NIMHANS in 2016, nearly 14% of India’s population required active therapeutic interventions while as per the data, about 70% to 80% of persons in India struggling with mental illness receive no care.

In the current scenario where several cases of sudden deaths among young adults are surfacing on the news channels and social media platforms, an environment of fear is spreading among youngsters. The cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults is unknown, but it is often due to undetected heart disease, heart muscle abnormalities, or structural abnormalities of the heart. Additionally, blood clots or blocked arteries can also lead to cardiac arrest either by causing a heart attack or sudden death. Furthermore, the coronavirus pandemic has made it more difficult to identify and address these issues in young adults as they are being admitted into hospitals and treated for Covid-19 related illnesses rather than looking out for potential heart disease or attacks. After evidencing such cases of sudden deaths among young adults, a question that arises in the mind of people is, was there a chance that these youngsters could have been saved? Would these youngsters be saved if immediate CPR was administered to them? These questions have turned our focus on the fact that people are lacking in knowledge regarding the basic life support measure CPR.

India has witnessed several sudden death incidents in the current post covid period. Several people took to social media concerning rising heart attacks in young and apparently fit people. Be it a bride who fainted and died suddenly at her reception or a young man who died due to a heart attack while walking, many videos have gone viral in the last 6 months. Some of the leading cardiologists stated that these sudden deaths could be an effect of long-term COVID in some cases while some suggest that this might be due to certain underlying undiagnosed heart diseases which have aggravated due to the current post covid situation. Most sudden cardiac deaths are usually noticed in older adults, particularly those with heart disease, yet the leading cause of death in young athletes is due to sudden cardiac arrest. Some of the reports suggest that about 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 80,000 young athletes die of sudden cardiac death each year. Some cardiologists even suggested that people must stop unaccustomed heavy exercise regimes to avoid such incidents.

Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection affecting one or both lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It is a serious infection that affects the alveoli the air sacs in the lungs. The alveoli get filled with pus and other liquid due to infection causing discomfort and difficulty in breathing.

Bronchial pneumonia (also known as bronchopneumonia) is an infection that affects patches throughout both lungs.

Carboxyhaemoglobin reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity and oxygen utilization of the RBC’s, leading to deficiency of oxygen. Hypoxia, and toxicity can lead to cerebrovascular ischemia, and myocardial infarction and disruption in the cellular process. The functioning of the normal cell crucially depends on a continuous oxygen supply, and delivery of oxygen from lungs to every tissue cell in the body is the primary function of blood. This essential process of carrying blood to the tissues depends on the protein haemoglobin (Hb) contained in red blood cells (erythrocytes).

Consumption of tobacco is the foremost risk factor for several chronic diseases, like cancer, lung disorders, cardiovascular disease, stroke etc. As per WHO, nearly half of tobacco users fall prey to different diseases leading to death. It is estimated that more than 8 million people are killed every year due to hazardous effects of tobacco, out of which over 7 million deaths are the results of direct tobacco use while around 1.2 million non-smokers due to exposure to second-hand smoke. About 10.7% of adults and 4.1% of youth (ages 13–15) in India smoke tobacco.

Are we able to reimagine a world where clean air, water and food are available to all?
Where economies are focused on health and well-being?
