Welcome to the Basic Life Support (BLS) algorithms and training by United Medical Education. Here we will discuss basic life saving interventions for patients in respiratory and cardiac distress and the importance of teamwork in a medical emergency. The life saving interventions of BLS are primarily for the purpose of maintaining circulation and oxygenation of the brain and other vital organs until Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and other interventions can be initiated by trained healthcare providers.

Welcome to the free BLS algorithm page offered by  United Medical Education . Here you will be able to review critical interventions needed to save a life and earn your BLS provider card. Learn more about our  BLS certification  and build a free student account.

Register for bls certification, register for bls recertificaiton, cpr: for adults, cabd (circulation, airway, breathing, defibrillate).

There is a common acronym in BLS used to guide providers in the appropriate steps to assess and treat patients in respiratory and cardiac distress. This is CAB-D (Circulation, Airway, Breathing, Defibrillate). The following scenario will help guide you in performing CAB-D.

You find an adult lying on the ground.

Assess to make sure the scene is safe for you to respond to the down patient.

Assess Responsiveness: Stimulate and speak to the adult asking if they are ok. Look at the chest and torso for movement and normal breathing.

If unresponsive:

• (One provider) first call the emergency response team and bring an AED to the patient.
• (Two providers) Have someone near call the emergency response team and bring the AED.

Place patient supine on a hard flat surface.

Circulation

• Check the patient for a carotid pulse for 5-10 seconds. (Do not check for more than 10 seconds.)

If the patient has a pulse:

Move to the airway and rescue breathing portion of the algorithm:

• Provide 10 rescue breaths per minute (1 breath every 6 seconds).
• Recheck pulse every 2 minutes.

If the patient doesn’t have a pulse:

Begin 5 cycles of CPR (lasts approximately 2 minutes).

Start with chest compressions:

• Provide 100 to 120 compressions per minute. This is 30 compressions every 15 to 18 seconds.
• Place your palms midline, one over the other, on the lower 1/3 of the patient’s sternum between the nipples.
• lock your arms.
• Using two arms press to a depth of 2 to 2.4 inches (5-6cm) or more on the patient’s chest.
• Press hard and fast.
• Allow for full chest recoil with each compression.

1 cycle of adult CPR is 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths.

If two providers are present: switch rolls between compressor and rescue breather every 5 cycles.

In the event of an unwitnessed collapse, drowning, or trauma:

Use the Jaw Thrust maneuver. (This maneuver is used when a cervical spine injury cannot be ruled out.):

• Place your fingers on the lower rami of the jaw.
• Provide anterior pressure to advance the jaw forward.

In the event of a witnessed collapse with no reason to assume a C-spine injury:

Use the Head Tilt-Chin Lift maneuver:

• place your palm on the patient’s forehead and apply pressure to tilt the head backward.
• place the fingers of your other hand under the mental protuberance of the chin and pull the chin forward and cephalic.

Scan the patients chest and torso for possible movement during the “assess unresponsiveness” portion of the algorithm. Watch for abnormal breathing or gasping.

If the patient is breathing adequately:

Continue to assess and maintain a patent airway and place the patient in the recovery position. (Only use the recovery position if its unlikely to worsen patient injury.)

If the patient is not breathing or is breathing inadequately:

• Commence rescue breaths immediately.

If the patient has no pulse:

• Begin CPR. (move to the “Circulation” portion of the algorithm.)
• Use a barrier device if available.
• Pinch the patient’s nose closed.
• Make a seal using your mouth over the mouth of the patient or use a pocket mask or bag mask.
• Each rescue breath should last approximately 1 second.
• Watch for chest rise.
• Allow time for the air to expel from the patient.

During normal CPR without an advanced airway:

• Provide approximately 6-8 rescue breaths per minute

During normal CPR with an advanced airway:

• Provide 10 rescue breaths per minute (don’t pause chest compressions for breaths).

If patient has a pulse and no CPR is required:

If there is a foreign body obstruction:

• Perform abdominal thrusts

Recovery position (lateral recumbent or 3/4 prone position):

This position is used to maintain a patent airway in the unconscious person.

• place the patient close to a true lateral position with the head dependent to allow fluid to drain.
• Assure the position is stable.
• Avoid pressure of the chest that could impairs breathing.
• Position patient in such a way that it allows turning them onto their back easily.
• Take precautions to stabilize the neck in case of cervical spine injury.

Continue to assess and maintain access of airway. Avoid the recovery position if it will sustain injury to the patient.

Defibrillate

Arrival of the AED (Automated External Defibrillator)

• Turn AED On NOW! (early defibrillation is the single most important therapy for survival of cardiac arrest and should be done as soon as it arrives).
• Follow verbal AED prompts.

Attachment:

• Firmly place appropriate pads (adult/pediatric) to patient’s skin to the indicated locations (pad image).

A short pause in CPR is required to allow the AED to analyze the rhythm.

If the rhythm is not shockable:

• Initiate 5 cycles of CPR.
• Recheck the rhythm at the end of the 5 cycles of CPR.

If the shock is indicated:

• Assure no one is touching the patient or is in mutual contact of a good conductor of electricity by yelling “Clear, I’m Clear, you’re Clear!” prior to delivering a shock.
• Press the shock button when the providers are clear of the patient.
• Resume 5 cycles of CPR.

CPR: for infants 0-1 in age

An infant is found lying on the ground.

Assess Unresponsiveness: Lightly shake or tap the infant’s foot and say their name. Look at the chest and torso for movement and normal breathing.

If the infant is unresponsive:

• (One provider) If alone and collapse is un-witnessed: First perform 2 minutes of CPR then call the emergency response team and bring an AED to the patient.
• (One provider) If alone and collapse is witnessed: First call the emergency response team and bring an AED, then start CPR.
• (Two providers) Have someone near call the emergency response team and bring the AED and you start CPR.

Feel for either the brachial or femoral pulse (Do not check for more than 10 seconds).

If the infant has a pulse:

Move to the airway and rescue breathing portion of the algorithm.

• Give 12-20 breaths per minute.
• Recheck the pulse every 2 minutes.

If the infant doesn’t have a pulse:

Start with Chest Compressions:

• (One provider) Place two fingers on the sternum of the lower chest. One between the nipple line and the other 1cm below.
• (Two providers) Encircle the infant’s torso with both hands with both thumbs pointing cephalic positioned 1cm below the nipples over the sternum.
• Chest Compressions should be at least 1.5 inches or 1/3 the depth of infant’s chest.
• Allow for full chest recoil.
• Only allow minimal interruptions to the chest compressions.

(One Provider: 1 cycle is 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths) (Two Providers: 1 cycle is 15 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths)

If you have two providers: switch rolls between compressor and rescue breather every 2 minutes or 5 cycles of CPR.

Use the Jaw-Thrust maneuver. (This maneuver is used when cervical spine injury cannot be ruled out.):

• Place your thumbs on the upper cheek bones of the infant.

In the event of a witnessed collapse and there’s no reason to assume C-spine injury:

If the infant has adequate breathing:

• Continue to assess and maintain a patent airway and place the infant in the infant recovery position. (Only use the recovery position if its unlikely to worsen patient injury)

If the infant is not breathing or is inadequately breathing:

• commence rescue breaths immediately.
• begin CPR (go to Circulation portion of the algorithm).
• Make a seal using your mouth over the mouth and nose of the patient.
• Each rescue breath should be small and last approximately 1 second.
• Provide 12-20 rescue breaths per minute (do not stop chest compressions for rescue breaths).

If the patient has a pulse and no CPR is required:

• Provide 12-20 rescue breaths per minute.

Recovery position for infants

• Cradle the infant with the infant’s head tilted downward and slightly to the side to avoid choking or aspiration.
• Continually check the infants breathing, pulse, and temperature.

Arrival of AED (Automated External Defibrillator)

• Turn AED On NOW! (early defibrillation is the single most important therapy for survival of cardiac arrest. Begin use on patient as soon as it arrives).

If shock is indicated:

• Assure no one is touching the patient or in mutual contact of a good conductor of electricity by yelling “Clear, I’m Clear, you’re Clear!” prior to delivering a shock.

Manual defibrillators are preferred for infant use. If the manuals defibrillator is not available the next best option is an AED with a pediatric attenuator. An AED without a pediatric attenuator can also be used.

CPR: for a child older than 1 year of age to puberty

You find a child lying on the ground.

Assess Unresponsiveness:

• Stimulate and speak to the child.
• Look at the chest and torso for movement and normal breathing.

(One provider) If alone and collapse is un-witnessed:

• Perform 2 minutes of CPR first then call the emergency response team and bring an AED to the patient.

If alone and collapse is witnessed:

• (one provider) Call the emergency response team and bring an AED first, then start CPR.
• (two providers) Have someone near call the emergency response team and bring the AED.
• (two providers) You start CPR.
• Check the patient for a carotid pulse for 5-10 seconds.

If no pulse:

Begin 5 cycles of CPR (lasts approximately 2 minutes)

• Use one or two arms.
• Place one or both of your palms midline, one over the other, on the lower sternum, between the nipples.
• Press at least to 1/3 the depth of patient’s chest or 2 inches.
• Allow for only minimal interruptions to chest compressions.

In the event of an unwitnessed collapse, drowning, or trauma:  Use the Jaw-Thrust maneuver. (this maneuver is used when cervical spine injury cannot be ruled out):

In the event of a witnessed collapse and there’s no reason to assume a C-spine injury:  Use the Head Tilt-Chin Lift maneuver.

Scan the patients chest and torso for possible movement during the “assess unresponsiveness” portion of the algorithm. Watch for abnormal breathing or gasping that will require additional ventilatory support.

If adequate breathing:

Continue to assess and maintain a patent airway and place the child in the recovery position. (Only use the recovery position if its unlikely to worsen patient injury)

If not or inadequate breathing: has a pulse:  Commence rescue breaths immediately. no pulse:  Begin CPR (go to Circulation portion of the algorithm).

• Make a seal using your mouth over the mouth of the patient.
• Allow time for the air to expel from patient.

During normal CPR without an advanced airway: (One provider)  Provide at least 6 rescue breaths per minute. (Two provider)  Provide at least 12 rescue breaths per minute.

• Provide 12 -20 rescue breaths per minute.

If foreign body obstruction:

• Perform abdominal thrusts.

Recovery position (lateral recumbent or 3/4 prone position)

• Continue to assess and maintain access of airway.
• Avoid the recovery position if it will sustain injury to the patient.

• Turn AED On NOW! (early defibrillation is the single most important therapy for survival of cardiac arrest. Use immediately upon its arrival to the scene).

If rhythm is not shockable:

An AED with a pediatric attenuator should be used in children under 8 years of age if available. An AED without a pediatric attenuator can also be used.

Choking: Adult to Child Over 1 Year Old

Signs and symptoms of a child/adult choking:

Universal signal for choking: patient has both hands wrapped around the base of their throat. With complete airway obstruction, the child is unable to speak, cry, or provide any sounds of respiration. The patient may be confused, weak, obtunded, or cyanotic.

Partial airway obstruction may result in stridor or a high-pitched audible noise during respiration. Partial airway obstruction may allow for a productive cough or allow the patient to speak.

Get the patient’s attention and ask them if they are choking. Assess for signs and symptoms of airway obstruction.

If partial airway obstruction:

• Do not attempt Heimlich maneuver.

If complete airway obstruction:

• (one provider) immediately call the emergency response team.
• (one provider) Attempt Heimlich maneuver
• (two provider) Send someone to call the emergency response team, while you attempt the Heimlich maneuver.

How to perform the Heimlich maneuver:

• Stand directly behind the child/adult.
• Place both of your arms around patient’s waist.
• Make a fist with one hand and grab the fist with opposite hand.
• Position the thumb end of the fisted hand immediately above the patient’s naval (ample distance away from the xiphoid process).
• Perform fast upward and inward diaphragmatic abdominal thrusts.
• Continue abdominal thrusts until the obstruction is removed.

If patient becomes unconscious:

• Initiate CPR.

Before attempting rescue breaths during normal CPR, assess the airway, removing any visually present obstruction. Do not use a blind finger sweep in an attempt to remove an obstruction.

Choking: Infant Under 1 Year Old

Signs and symptoms of an infant choking:

With complete airway obstruction, the infant is unable to speak, cry, or provide any sounds of respiration. The infant may be confused, weak, obtunded, or cyanotic.

Partial airway obstruction may result in stridor or a high-pitched audible noise during respiration. If the child has a partial airway obstruction, powerful cough, or strong audible cry, do not attempt the Heimlich maneuver.

If signs and symptoms of choking are present and infant is conscious:

• (one provider) Assess the airway for any visually present obstruction and manually remove it if possible.
• (two provider) Send someone to call the emergency response team while you assess the airway.
• Never use a blind finger sweep.

Position the patient:

• Lay infant’s face and torso down on forearm (prone) with chest being supported by your palm and their head and neck by your fingers.
• Tilt the infant’s body at a 30 degree angle, head downward (trandelenburg).
• Use your thigh or other object for support.

Interventional Back Blows:

• Provide 5 rapid forceful blows using a flat palm on the infant’s back between the two scapula.

Reposition the patient:

• Rotate the infant face up (supine), head downward (trandelenburg) by switching the infant to the opposite arm.

Interventional Chest Thrusts:

• Place your two fingers on the center of the infant’s sternum immediately below the nipple line.
• Provide 5 rapid compressions, with thrusts equaling 1/3 to 1/2 the total depth of the chest.
• Continue cycling back and forth between interventional back blows and chest thrusts until the obstruction is removed or until consciousness is lost.

If becomes unconscious:

• Before attempting rescue breaths during normal CPR, assess the airway, removing any visually present obstruction.
• Do not use a blind finger sweep in an attempt to remove an obstruction.

• 2021 Resuscitation Guidelines

Adult basic life support Guidelines

• There are no major changes in the 2021 Basic Life Support Guidelines.
• Cardiac arrest recognition remains a key priority as it is the first step in triggering the emergency response to cardiac arrest.
• Recognise cardiac arrest has occurred in any unresponsive person with absent or abnormal breathing.
• The ambulance call handler will assist with instructions for confirming cardiac arrest, starting compression-only CPR, and locating, retrieving and using an AED.
• Provide chest compressions as soon as possible after cardiac arrest is confirmed.
• Send someone to fetch an AED and bring it to the scene of the cardiac arrest. The British Heart Foundation database, “The Circuit” serves as a national resource for the location of AEDs.
• Use the recovery position, only if a person’s conscious level is reduced and they do not meet the criteria for starting CPR.

Introduction

Guidelines 2021 are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation 2020 Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations for Basic Life Support and Automated External Defibrillation and the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation (2021) Adult Basic Life Support. Refer to the ERC guidelines publications for supporting reference material.

Guidelines 2021 prioritises supporting members of our communities to have the confidence, knowledge and skills to act when someone sustains an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Few major changes have been introduced as the principles of CPR remain unchanged. The guidelines emphasise that it is more important that people feel able to do something to help than they become focused on small details or concerned about causing harm. No greater harm can occur than failing to act when someone requires CPR and defibrillation.

The community response to cardiac arrest remains critical to saving lives. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) increase the chances of survival by two to four-fold and are a critical part of UK government’s strategies to improving survival from cardiac arrest.

These guidelines are intended to support members of our communities who may be called upon to act in an emergency and to help saves someone’s life. This includes members of the public, children and family members, first responders, and those with a duty to respond (e.g. lifeguards, first aiders). They complement the Resuscitation Council UK Quality Standards for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillation Training in the Community which describe that when cardiac arrest occurs, systems and education should be in place to ensure that:

• cardiac arrest is recognised early
• help is sought – shout for nearby help and dial 999
• CPR is promptly started according to current guidelines
• an AED is located, retrieved and used as early as possible.

Management of cardiac arrest in patients with known or suspected COVID-19 is not specifically included in these guidelines, but is covered within the separate COVID-19 guidance which is accessible from the RCUK website.

The process used to produce the Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines 2021 is accredited by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The guidelines process includes:

• systematic reviews with grading of the certainty of evidence and strength of recommendations
• Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations, led by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR)
• the involvement of stakeholders from around the world including members of the public and cardiac arrest survivors. 
• Details of the guidelines development process can be found in the Resuscitation Council UK  Guidelines Development Process Manual.  

How to recognise cardiac arrest

• Start CPR in any unresponsive person with absent or abnormal breathing.
• Slow, laboured breathing (agonal breathing) should be considered a sign of cardiac arrest.
• A short period of seizure-like movements can occur at the start of cardiac arrest. Assess the person after the seizure has stopped: if unresponsive and with absent or abnormal breathing, start CPR.

How to alert the emergency services

Alert the emergency medical services (EMS) immediately by dialling 999 on your phone, if a person is unconscious with absent or abnormal breathing.

• A lone bystander with a mobile phone should dial 999, activate the speaker or another hands-free option on the mobile phone and immediately start CPR assisted by the dispatcher.
• If you are a lone rescuer and you have to leave a victim to ring the ambulance service, alert the ambulance service first and then start CPR.

High-quality chest compressions

• Start chest compressions as soon as possible.
• Deliver compressions on the lower half of the sternum (‘in the centre of the chest’).
• Compress to a depth of at least 5 cm but not more than 6 cm.
• Compress the chest at a rate of 100–120 min −1 with as few interruptions as possible.
• Allow the chest to recoil completely after each compression; do not lean on the chest.
• Perform chest compressions on a firm surface whenever feasible.

Rescue breaths

• If you are trained to do so, after 30 compressions, provide 2 rescue breaths.
• Alternate between providing 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
• If you are unable or unwilling to provide ventilations, give continuous chest compressions.

How to find an AED

• The location of an AED should be indicated by clear signage .
• Ambulance services should have available up to date information on defibrillator locations, either through regional databases or national databases such as the Circuit . There are a number of apps available for the public that list defibrillator locations.

When and how to use an AED

• As soon as the AED arrives, or if one is already available at the site of the cardiac arrest, switch it on.
• Attach the electrode pads to the person's (who has sustained cardiac arrest) bare chest according to the position shown on the AED or on the pads.
• If more than one rescuer is present, continue CPR whilst the pads are being attached.
• Follow the spoken (and/or visual) prompts from the AED.
• Ensure that nobody is touching the person whilst the AED is analysing the heart rhythm.
• If a shock is indicated, ensure that nobody is touching the person. Push the shock button as prompted. Immediately restart CPR with 30 compressions. If no shock is indicated, immediately restart CPR with 30 compressions.
• In either case, continue with CPR as prompted by the AED. There will be a period of CPR (commonly 2 minutes) before the AED prompts for a further pause in CPR for rhythm analysis.

Compressions before defibrillation

• Continue CPR until an AED (or other type of defibrillator) arrives on site and is switched on and attached to the person.
• Do not delay defibrillation to provide additional CPR once the defibrillator is ready.

Fully automatic AEDs

• If a shock is indicated, fully automatic AEDs are designed to deliver a shock without any further action by the rescuer. The safety of fully automatic AEDs has not been well studied.

Safety of AEDs

• Many studies of public access defibrillation have shown that AEDs can be used safely by bystanders and first responders. Although injury to the CPR provider from a shock by a defibrillator is extremely rare, do not continue chest compression during shock delivery.
• Make sure you, the person and any bystanders are safe.
• Members of the public should start CPR for presumed cardiac arrest without concerns of causing harm to those not in cardiac arrest.
• Members of the public may safely perform chest compressions and use an AED as the risk of infection during compressions and harm from accidental shock during AED use is very low.
• Separate guidelines have been developed for resuscitation of those with suspected or confirmed acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) .

How technology can help

• EMS systems should consider the use of technology such as smartphones, video communication, artificial intelligence and drones to assist in recognising cardiac arrest, to dispatch first responders, to communicate with bystanders, to provide dispatcher-assisted CPR and to deliver AEDs to the site of cardiac arrest.
• The GoodSAM app ( goodsamapp.org ) is an example of technology that is used widely in the UK and internationally.

Foreign body airway obstruction

• Suspect choking if someone is suddenly unable to speak or talk, particularly if eating.
• Encourage the person to cough.
• Lean the person forward.
• Apply blows between the shoulder blades using the heel of one hand.
• Stand behind the person and put both your arms around the upper part of their abdomen.
• Lean the person forwards.
• Clench your fist and place it between the umbilicus (navel) and the ribcage.
• Grasp your fist with the other hand and pull sharply inwards and upwards.
• If choking has not been relieved after 5 abdominal thrusts, continue alternating 5 back blows with 5 abdominal thrusts until it is relieved, or the person becomes unresponsive.
• If the person becomes unresponsive, start CPR.

Recovery Position

• Kneel beside the person and make sure that both legs are straight.
• Place the arm nearest to you out at right angles to the body with the hand palm uppermost.
• Bring the far arm across the chest, and hold the back of the hand against the person’s cheek nearest to you.
• With your other hand, grasp the far leg just above the knee and pull it up, keeping the foot on the ground.
• Keeping the hand pressed against the cheek, pull on the far leg to roll the person towards you onto their side.
• Adjust the upper leg so that both the hip and knee are bent at right angles.
• Tilt the head back to make sure the airway remains open.
• Adjust the hand under the cheek if necessary, to keep the head tilted and facing downwards to allow liquid material to drain from the mouth.
• Check regularly for normal breathing.
• Only leave the person unattended if absolutely necessary, for example to attend to other people.
• It is important to stress the importance of maintaining a close check on all unresponsive individuals until the EMS arrives to ensure that their breathing remains normal. In certain situations, such as resuscitation-related agonal respirations or trauma, it may not be appropriate to move the individual into a recovery position.

Presentation Transcript

Basic and Advanced Life Support Dr. Nevine Abdel Fattah Lecturer in Chest Diseases Ain Shams University.

Adult Basic Life Support • This lecture contains the guidelines for out-of-hospital, single rescuer, adult basic life support (BLS). • The guidelines are based on the document 2005 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science with Treatment recommendations.

Adult Basic Life Support • At the end of the lesson you should be able to state and describe the Adult BLS Algorithm, focusing on Cardiac Arrest in a non drowning, non traumatic, non toxic adult collapse. • Basic life support (BLS) is a specific level of pre-hospital medical care provided by trained responders, including emergency medical technicians, in the absence of advanced medical care. • BLS may also include considerations of patient transport such as the protection of the cervical spine and avoiding additional injuries through splinting and immobilization.

Adult Basic Life Support Nervous system

Adult Basic Life Support • BLS generally does not include the use of drugs or invasive skills, and can be contrasted with the provision of Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). • CPR provided in the field buys time for higher medical responders to arrive and provide ACLS. For this reason it is essential that any person starting CPR also obtains ACLS support by calling for help via radio using agency policies and procedures and/or using an appropriate emergency telephone number. • An important advance in providing BLS is the availability of the automated external defibrillator or AED, which can be used to deliver defibrillation. This improves survival outcomes in cardiac arrest cases, sometimes dramatically.

Adult Basic Life Support • PERSON COLLAPSES • Check if he is unresponsive. • Call Emergency number. • Get AED (automatic Electric Defibrillator) • Begin the ABCD’s

Adult Basic Life Support Basic life support consists of the following sequence of actions: • Make sure the victim, any bystanders, and you are safe. • Check the victim for a response. • Gently shake his shoulders and ask loudly, ‘Are you all right?’ If he responds: • Leave him in the position in which you find him provided there is no further danger. • Try to find out what is wrong with him and get help if needed. • Reassess him regularly. If he does not respond: • Shout for help. • Turn the victim supine aligned position or stable side position.

Adult Basic Life Support START THE ABCD’s Airway:Open Airway. Breathing: (Look, Listen &Feel) Circulation:. Monitor and check the pulse.

Adult Basic Life Support Defibrillator: An important advance in providing BLS is the availability of AED, which can be used to deliver defibrillation. improving survival outcomes in cardiac arrest cases.

Adult Basic Life Support Airway Control: - Chin Lift Maneuver. - Jaw thrust maneuver. - Manual clearing of mouth & throat. - Pharyngeal suctioning. - Pharyngeal intubation.

Adult Basic Life Support Open airways

Adult Basic Life Support Airway Control: - Esophageal obturator airway insertion. - Endotracheal intubation &Tracheobronchial suctioning. - Cricothyrotomy - transtracheal O2 jet insufflation. - Tracheotomy, bronchoscopy bronchodilatation, pleural drainage.

Adult Basic Life Support Breathing: Keeping the airway open, look, listen, and feel for normal breathing. • Look for chest movement. • Listen at the victim's mouth for breath sounds. • Feel for air on your cheek. In the first few minutes after cardiac arrest, a victim may be barely breathing, taking infrequent, noisy, gasps. Do not confuse this with normal breathing. Look, listen, and feel for no more than 10 sec to determine if the victim is breathing normally. If you have any doubt whether breathing is normal, act as if it is not normal.

Adult Basic Life Support If he is breathing normally: • Turn him into the recovery position. • Send or go for help, or call for an ambulance. • Check for continued breathing. If he is not breathing normally: • Ask someone to call for an ambulance or, if you are on your own, do this yourself; you may need to leave the victim. • Start chest compression as follows: • Kneel by the side of the victim. • Place the heel of one hand in the centre of the victim’s chest.

Adult Basic Life Support • Place the heel of your other hand on top of the first hand. • Interlock the fingers of your hands and ensure that pressure is not applied over the victim's ribs. Do not apply any pressure over the upper abdomen or the bottom end of the bony sternum (breastbone). • Position yourself vertically above the victim's chest and, with your arms straight, press down on the sternum 4 - 5 cm. • After each compression, release all the pressure on the chest without losing contact between your hands and the sternum. • Repeat at a rate of about 100 times a minute (a little less than 2 compressions a second). • Compression and release should take an equal amount of time.

RECOVERY POSITION Adult Basic Life Support

Adult Basic Life Support • Breathing support: - Mouth-to-mouth (nose) ventilation. - Mouth-to-adjunct with or without O2. - Manual bag-mask (tube) ventilation with or without O2. - Hand-triggered O2 ventilation - Mechanical ventilation

Adult Basic Life Support Combine chest compression with rescue breaths: • After 30 compressions open the airway again using head tilt and chin lift. • Pinch the soft part of the victim’s nose closed, using the index finger and thumb of your hand on his forehead. • Allow his mouth to open, but maintain chin lift. • Take a normal breath and place your lips around his mouth, making sure that you have a good seal. • Blow steadily into his mouth whilst watching for his chest to rise; take about one second to make his chest rise as in normal breathing; this is an effective rescue breath. • Maintaining head tilt and chin lift, take your mouth away from the victim and watch for his chest to fall as air comes out.

Adult Basic Life Support • Take another normal breath and blow into the victim’s mouth once more to give a total of two effective rescue breaths. Then return your hands without delay to the correct position on the sternum and give a further 30 chest compressions. • Continue with chest compressions and rescue breaths in a ratio of 30:2. • Stop to recheck the victim only if he starts breathing normally; otherwise do not interrupt resuscitation.

Adult Basic Life Support • If your rescue breaths do not make the chest rise as in normal breathing, then before your next attempt: • Check the victim's mouth and remove any visible obstruction. • Recheck that there is adequate head tilt and chin lift. • Do not attempt more than two breaths each time before returning to chest compressions. • If there is more than one rescuer present, another should take over CPR about every 2 min to prevent fatigue. • Ensure the minimum of delay during the changeover of rescuers.

Adult Basic Life Support • Circulation support: - Control of external hemorrhage. - Position of shock. - Pulse checking. - Mechanical chest compressions. - Open chest direct cardiac Compressions.

Adult Basic Life Support Chest-compression-only CPR: • If you are not able, or are unwilling, to give rescue breaths, give chest compressions only. • If chest compressions only are given, these should be continuous at a rate of 100 a minute. • Stop to recheck the victim only if he starts breathing normally; otherwise do not interrupt resuscitation.

Adult Basic Life Support Continue resuscitation until: • Qualified help arrives and takes over, • The victim starts breathing normally, or • You become exhausted.

Adult Advanced Cardiac Life Support • Advanced Cardiac Life support (ACLS) is a detailed medical protocol for the provision of lifesaving cardiac care in settings ranging from the pre-hospital environment to the hospital setting. • Extensive medical knowledge and rigorous hands-on training and practice are required to master ACLS. • Only qualified health care providers (doctors, nurses, emergency medical responders) can provide ACLS.

Adult Advanced Cardiac Life Support • ACLS is an extension of BLS, especially now that the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in out-of-hospital setting has become part of BLS. • The aim of this section is to review the Adult Advanced Life support Algorithm.

Adult Advanced Life Support Algorithm

Adult Advanced Life Support Algorithm Monitored or Witnessed Arrest! Within 30 seconds from time of arrest. Used once only.

Adult Advanced Life Support Algorithm Chest free of Lead wiring. Lead positions; Ride Your Bike

Adult Advanced Life Support Algorithm Non VF/VT Any rhythm other than VF/VT

Adult Advanced Life Support Algorithm • During CPR • Correct reversible causes • If not done already: • Check des, paddle position and contact. • Attempt / Verify: Airway and O2 • IV Access : Give Epinephrine every 3min. • Consider : Amiodarone, Atropine/ Pacing & Buffers.

Adult Advanced Life Support Algorithm • The H’s & T’s • Potential Reversible Causes • Hypoxia • Hpovolaemia • Hypo/Hyperkalaemia and Metabolic disorders • Hypothermia • Tension Pneumothorax • Tamponade • Toxic /Therapeutic Disorders • Thromboembolic and Mechanical obstruction.

Basic Life Support Certification

BLS certification needs to be obtained from just acknowledged organizations. Also they should be supplied to individuals in the best measure. It is not something to be know yet it is more than that. The achieved know-how has to be used in the right efficient fashion and just then it could be exposed at a better level so that it serves practical. Having the best energy in the field is the criteria for this life conserving program. The individual who is interested to obtain Basic Life Support certification has to be fit in both mind and body. The person has to be in touch with the external globe. That is, he needs to be in a line of work where he can acquire optimal attention from individuals.
