Basic life support (BLS) involves immediate assistance provided to an injured or ill person until further medical help arrives. BLS aims to provide oxygen to the heart and brain, sustain tissue function, preserve life, and make the victim comfortable. It includes chest compressions, rescue breathing, use of an AED, and treating choking. The American Heart Association provides BLS guidelines including recognition of respiratory emergencies, high-quality chest compressions for various age groups, and "Chain of Survival" protocols for cardiac arrest. BLS algorithms detail life-saving steps for one- and two-rescuer situations involving infants, children, and adults. Proper airway management, rescue breathing, and relief of choking are also essential

Basic life support,Cardi0-pulmonary resuscitation
It refers to the care provided by healthcare providers and public safety professionals to patients who are experiencing respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest or airway obstruction.
BLS includes psychomotor skills for performing high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using an automated external defibrillator (AED) and relieving an obstructed airway for patients of all ages.
BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS)
Cardiovascular diseases are the second leading cause of death, with cardiac arrest being responsible for 366,807 deaths per year in the US. Effective basic life support (BLS) provided immediately after cardiac arrest can double a victim's chance of survival. BLS involves chest compressions, opening the airway, and rescue breathing to sustain life until advanced medical treatment can restore normal heart function. It consists of five steps: assessing the scene and victim, checking for no pulse and breathing, beginning chest compressions, opening the airway, and giving rescue breaths. BLS is performed at a rate of 100-120 chest compressions per minute with complete chest recoil between compressions to promote circulation until emergency responders arrive.

Resuscitation in children
This document discusses resuscitation in children. It defines resuscitation and notes that the age of the victim guides treatment decisions. Discriminating based solely on age is inadequate, as there is no single parameter separating infants, children, and adults. Factors like size, illness, and rescuer strength should also be considered. The document then discusses various aspects of pediatric resuscitation, including airway management, breathing, chest compressions, defibrillation, and foreign body removal. It emphasizes the importance of ventilation for children and the need to tailor treatment based on the victim's age.
CPR
This document provides information on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It defines CPR as a combination of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions that delivers oxygen and artificial blood circulation to someone in cardiac arrest. The document outlines the purpose, principles, procedures, and importance of immediately starting CPR for cardiac arrest or respiratory arrest in order to prevent irreversible brain damage from lack of oxygen. It describes performing chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, clearing the airway, and giving rescue breaths in a 30:2 ratio to restore circulation and oxygen flow until emergency services arrive.
Basic Life Support - BLS
Basic life support is a course run by American Heart Association that teaches about handling cardiac arrest in Out of Hospital and In Hospital Situations. This Presentation covers important aspects of the same.

Basic Life Support (BLS) involves procedures like chest compressions and rescue breathing to restore oxygenated blood flow after cardiac or respiratory arrest until full medical care can be provided. BLS does not require drugs or specialized skills. It is aimed at maintaining circulation and oxygenation until definitive treatment is available. The CAB-D approach guides BLS, assessing for circulation, airway, breathing issues, and use of defibrillation if needed. High quality CPR involves 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. BLS plays a critical role in the "chain of survival" by providing oxygenated blood flow until emergency services can take over advanced life support measures.

This document provides information on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), including definitions of common cardiac terms, the importance and objectives of CPR, indications for CPR, equipment used, the procedure, nursing actions and rationale, chest compression, airway management, breathing, algorithms, guidelines for stopping CPR, and conclusions. CPR is performed when someone's heart and breathing have stopped and involves chest compressions and rescue breathing to circulate oxygenated blood to vital organs until normal heart function can be restored.
Paediatric basic life support ppt
Paediatric basic life support (PBLS) involves resuscitation procedures to prevent anoxic brain damage and promote circulation and breathing in children. The key steps of PBLS are CAB - checking for circulation (C) by feeling for a pulse, opening the airway (A), and giving rescue breaths (B). For infants and children in cardiac arrest, high-quality chest compressions at least 100/min that depress the sternum 1/3 its depth are critical, along with proper head positioning and rescue breathing. PBLS should continue for 2 minutes in cycles of 30 compressions to 2 breaths before emergency help arrives or switching rescuers.
life saving skil.ppt during preganncy
This document discusses life support measures including basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS). BLS involves performing CPR, which includes chest compressions and rescue breaths. It is important to perform high-quality chest compressions that are fast, deep, and allow full chest recoil between compressions. An AED can be used to analyze heart rhythms and deliver shocks if needed. ALS uses additional equipment like airways and drugs to further support circulation and breathing. The goal of life support is to restore spontaneous breathing and circulation until more advanced medical help arrives.

Paediatric basic life support ppt
Paediatric basic life support (PBLS) involves procedures to prevent anoxic brain damage by promoting return of spontaneous circulation and breathing in children. It entails checking response and breathing, then pulse, and performing cycles of chest compressions and rescue breaths in a ratio of 30:2 for one rescuer or 15:2 for multiple rescuers. Key considerations include maintaining an open airway with head tilt and jaw thrust maneuvers rather than finger sweeps, and compressing 1/3 the depth of the chest's anterior-posterior diameter at a fast rate of 100/min until signs of life return, help arrives, or exhaustion occurs.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.

Basic life support (bls).pptx
- 1. Basic life support (bls) BY GOVIND B.SC. CVT 3RD SEM
- 2. Introduction Basic life support is the immediate treatment or assistance given to a person who is injured or suddenly becomes ill, using facilities or materials available there at that time before regular medical help is imparted. BLS is one of the essential assistance that should be given to a person. Basic life support is the knowledge and skill necessary to respond, mostly to breathing and cardiac emergency in adult, child and infant patients.
- 3. Objectives of BLS To provide oxygen to heart and the brain. To sustain tissue capability until definitive electric or medical treatment can restore spontaneous circulation. To preserve life. To make the victim as comfortable as possible to conserve strength.
- 4. Cardio pulmonary resuscitation. The use of artificial ventilation with external heart compression is called cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR should be started in all cases of cardiac and respiratory arrest. CPR includes chest compression and mouth to mouth breath.
- 5. American Heart Association(AHA) The American Heart Association is nonprofit organization in the United States that funds cardiovascular medical researches, educates consumer on healthy living and encourage appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease. AHA is mainly dedicated to the reduction of death and disability from cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke.
- 6. General concept of BLS according to AHA According to AHA BLS includes : • Quickly starting the Chain of Survival • Delivering high quality chest compressions for adults, children and infants • Knowing where to locate and understanding how to use an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) • Providing rescue breathing when appropriate • Understanding how to perform as a team • Knowing how to treat choking
- 7. Chain of survival Chain of survival refers to the chain of events that must occur in rapid succession to maximize the chances of survival from sudden cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest. A strong chain of survival can improve chances of survival and recovery for victims of cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest. The two chains of survival are: Adult chain of survival and pediatric chain of survival.
- 8. Adult chain of survival
- 9. Pediatric chain of survival “INFANTS AND CHILDREN DO NOT USUALLY HAVE PRIMARY CARDIAC EVENT. PEDIATRIC PATIENT WILL MOST OFTEN SUFFER FROM RESPIRATORY EVENTS OR DEHYDRATION THAT LEAD TO CARDIAC ARREST.”
- 10. BLS Algorithm THE BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS) ALGORITHMS PROVIDE A DETAILED PROCESS FOR LIFE SAVING ACTIONS FOR ONE AND TWO RESCUER SITUATIONS FOR INFANTS, CHILDREN AND ADULTS.
- 12. BLS for children (1 to 8 years)
- 14. Airway management Until an advanced airways inserted, the rescue teams should use mouth to mouth, mouth to mask or bag mask ventilation. An advanced airway (laryngeal mask airway, or endotracheal tube) provides a more stable way of providing breaths and should therefore be inserted as early as possible in a resuscitation effort. Once an advanced Airways is placed, the compression/ breath ratio be adjusted as noted below:
- 15. Rescue breathing In many cases, cardiac arrest preceded by respiratory arrest. Therefore, it is important to be able to recognise respiratory issue in order to track steps to prevent cardiac arrest. When a victim of any age has a pulse but its not breathing, immediately open the airway using head tilt/chin lift and begin rescue breathing.
- 16. Relief of choking Difficulty in breathing due to an obstruction in the throat or windpipe.. Choking is most common preventable cause of cardiac rest. The correct response for choking victim depends on the degree of airway obstruction, whether the victim is responsive or not, and the age of the victim. Choking is not always related to an underlying condition. It may be caused by: • Eating/ drinking quickly • Talking with food in the mouth • Swallowing food without chewing adequately • Breathing in an area with fumes • Curious children putting objects in their mouths
- 17. Choking in an adult or older than one year
- 18. Choking in infants (less than one year)
- 21. Thank you
