Basic life support (BLS) involves restoring oxygenated blood circulation through chest compressions and rescue breathing after cardiac or respiratory arrest until emergency medical care arrives. BLS can be performed by anyone with training and does not require equipment beyond performing high-quality chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute and giving rescue breaths. The American Heart Association provides guidelines for BLS, including a CAB-D approach of assessing circulation, airway, breathing, and defibrillation if needed using an automated external defibrillator. Proper BLS following its guidelines of 30 compressions to 2 breaths in 5 cycles can help maintain vital organ function until emergency services take over.
A presentation used to train medical professionals to perform BLS in emergency condition. it will provide a better understanding about the steps of BLS and the order in which it should be perfomed.
AED is a portable type of external defibrillator that automatically diagnose the ventricular fibrillation in a patient.
Automatic refers to the ability to autonomously analyze the patients condition.AED is provided with self-adhesive electrodes instead of hand held paddles
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is the pre-eminent resuscitation course for the recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies.

Every year in the US over 320,000 people (of all ages) die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) outside of hospitals. While Fire and EMS departments do a great job trying to save these people time is not on their side. Severe brain damage occurs withing 4-6 minutes and brain death by 10 minutes.
On scene bystanders are the best chance for these victims. Prompt CPR and early use of an AED will dramatically increase the victims chance of survival. This presentation is a brief overview on how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). This presentation should not take away from that fact that all people need to attend a formal CPR and AED course.

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. WHATISBASICLIFESUPPORT?
The sequences of operations undertaken
to restore the circulation of oxygenated
blood following a sudden pulmonary or
cardiac arrest until they can be provided
complete medical care at a hospital are
referred to as Basic Life Support
(BLS).The use of medications or intrusive
skills is not included in BLS.
3. It can be provided by trained medical personnel,
including paramedics, and by Anyone who knows,
How To do it, anywhere, immediately, without any
other equipment.
WHATISBASICLIFESUPPORT?
4. PURPOSES OF CPR
Maintaining circulation and
oxygenation in order to maintain
a cardiac output to keep vital organs
alive.
6. AMERICAN HEART
ASSOCIATION (AHA)
GUIDELINES
The American Heart Association (AHA) is a non-
profit organization in the United States.
They are known for publishing standards on basic life
support and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, Only Hands-Free CPR is
allowed to avoid the transmission of viruses.
7. WHA
T IS CAB-D APPROACH?
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)
9. CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
FIVE LINKS OF ADULT CHAIN OF SURVIVAL-
•Early recognition of cardiac arrest.
•Activation of the Emergency Response System.
•Early CPR, to provide blood supply to vital organs.
•Early defibrillation to restart the heart.
•Comprehensive post-cardiac arrest care to restore
quality of life.
10. ACTIONS FOR PERFORMING ADULT CPR
1 Assess scene safety.
2 Determine responsiveness
3 Check carotid pulse
4 Perform chest compressions
5 Open Airway
6 Check Breathing and deliver breathe.
13. SHOUT OR CALL FOR HELP
Call 911 Immediately
after securing the scene
14. ASSESS RESPONSIVENESS
Shake the shoulder and speak to the adult
asking ARE YOU ALLRIGHT? . Look at the
chest and torso for movement and normal
breathing simultaneously.
15. CHECK CIRCULATION
Check the patient for a palpable carotid
pulse for 5-10 seconds. (Do not check for
more than 10 seconds.)
16. IF THERE IS NO PULSE AND
NO/ABNORMAL BREATHING
START CPR
17. CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION
To start CPR, place patient in supine position on a firm
and flat surface.
Kneel down to the patient and locate the position for
chest compression on person’s chest.
19. HAND POSITIONING FOR CHEST
COMPRESSIONS
1. Lock your arms.
2. Place the heel of one
hand over the center of
the person's chest,
between the nipples.
Place your other hand on
top of the first hand.
3. Keep your elbows
straight and position
your shoulders directly
above your hands.
20. Use your upper body weight (not just your arms) as
you push straight down on the chest at least 2 inches
(approximately 5 centimeters) but not greater than
2.4 inches (approximately 6 centimeters).
21. GOOD QUALITY CHEST
COMPRESSIONS
Press hard and fast.
Allow for full chest recoil with each compression.
Allow for only minimal interruptions to chest
compressions.
23. AIRWAY
•After initial 30 chest compressions ,assess and
establish airway.
• Give 2 rescue breaths using an Ambu bag, each
lasting for 1 seconds and assess for visible chest rise
with each breath
24. AIRWAY :OPEN THE AIRWAY
AFTER GIVING 30 CHEST
COMPRESSIONS OPEN
VICTIM’S AIRWAY.
There are two maneuvers to open the
airway
HEAD- TILT CHIN-LIFT MANEUVER
(Or Jaw thrust maneuver if spinal cord
injury is suspected).
JAW THRUST MANEUVER
31. CONTINUE RESUSCITATION UNTIL
Qualified help arrives and takes over
The victim starts breathing normally
Rescuer becomes exhausted
32. AUTOMATED
EXTERNAL
DEFIBRILLATOR
An AED, or automated external
defrillator, is a device that has
the ability to detect irregular
heart rhythm and it automatically
delivers a defibrillation shock to
stop irregular heart beat and allow
a normal rhythm to resume.
AEDs are designed to be used by
any laypersons.
37. COMPLICATIONS OF CPR
1. RIB FRACTURE
2. Internal injuries to
organs
3. Laceration related to
the tip of the
sternum
4. Vomiting and
aspiration
5. Gastric distension.
