Basic Life Support: Essential Guide
Core Concept of Basic Life Support (BLS): Learn how to recognize cardiac arrest, perform effective CPR, manage the airway, use an AED, and respond to life-threatening emergencies in adults, children, and infants. This foundation helps you act confidently and save lives during critical moments.
Basic Life Support (BLS) Algorithm: Learn how to assess responsiveness, activate emergency response systems, begin high-quality CPR, and deliver early defibrillation. This guide also covers adaptations for special situations such as trauma, pregnancy, and drowning, ensuring you’re prepared for any emergency.
Pediatric BLS Algorithm: Learn how to check responsiveness, open and maintain the airway, provide age-appropriate CPR, and operate an AED safely for younger patients (infants and children). Mastering this sequence helps you act quickly and effectively when every second counts.
Choking First Aid: Respond immediately when someone is choking. Encourage the person to cough, perform back blows or abdominal thrusts if necessary, and call for emergency help if the obstruction doesn’t clear. These essential steps can prevent severe injury or death by restoring normal breathing before advanced help arrives.
