BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS - CPR)
Basic life support (BLS) involves procedures to restore oxygenated blood circulation after sudden cardiac or pulmonary arrest until full medical care can be provided. It includes chest compressions, rescue breathing, use of an automated external defibrillator, and establishing an open airway. BLS is essential for resuscitating someone and can double their chances of survival if performed immediately by bystanders before emergency services arrive. The key steps of BLS include assessing the scene and victim, calling for help, delivering chest compressions, giving rescue breaths, using an AED, and placing the victim in the recovery position if breathing returns.

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.
ADULT BASIC LIFE SUPPORT.pptx
Basic Life Support is a life saving procedure ensuring patient survival in various life-threatening conditions. It includes Chain of survival, Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
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.
5 Young Hearts - small
90% of Australians who suffer cardiac arrest do not survive, compared to only 40% in Seattle where innovative community response programs have been implemented. Teaching high-quality CPR (HQ-CPR) to children in schools starting at a young age can help increase cardiac arrest survival rates, as retention of skills is good even after short courses and training at a young age can benefit the wider community. The proposed Young Hearts program in Australia aims to introduce HQ-CPR training in schools nationwide using online and face-to-face instruction with the goals of creating a generation of lifesavers and improving cardiac arrest outcomes.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training by FirstAidPowerpoint
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to keep someone alive until a defibrillator arrives after their heart stops beating. The steps of CPR are assessed using DR ABC - check for Danger, get no Response, open the Airway, check for Breathing, and immediately Call for an ambulance if they are unresponsive and not breathing normally. CPR consists of 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths, continuing in cycles until emergency help arrives. It is a critical part of the Chain of Survival to maximize chances of restarting the heart after cardiac arrest.
Basic life support (bls).pptx
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
Heart Start
This document summarizes information about sudden cardiac arrest and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to treat it. It discusses that sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death and discusses ventricular fibrillation as a cause. It then summarizes different AED models from Philips, Zoll, Medtronic, Physio-Control and Cardiac Science and how they provide features like real-time CPR feedback and quick shock capability.

- 1. 11Help Save a Life with CPRDavid Judge<br /> Help Save a Life with CPR<br />It can be a real thrill to save a life, but how do you go about saving a life without some basic training? You don’t have to be a doctor or an ambulance officer to save a life, all you need are some basic CPR skills. CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a method used by doctors and ambulance officers but can also be used by an everyday person who has had the proper training. If you are a pool owner and have children, then this basic skill could help to save the life of your child from drowning. As well as making sure your pool is compliant, having CPR skills is also important.<br />As a pool owner, it is important for pool inspections Brisbane to be carried out to ensure that your pool complies with the new pool safety regulations that came into effect on the 1st of December, 2010 with the aim to lower the rate of accidental drowning in children. Along with making sure your pool and fencing is in compliance, enrolling in a CPR or first aid course is a great thing to do. Imagine how it would feel to have the ability to save someone’s life, whether they are the victim of drowning or an accident or cardiac arrest. Having the ability to save a life is an amazing gift to have.<br />So what is involved in cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves chest compressions at a rate of at least 100 per minute. This creates artificial circulation by manually pumping the blood through the heart. By also breathing into his or her mouth or using a device that pushes air into their lungs, otherwise termed as artificial respiration, this method is also a great help for someone who has stopped breathing. For those not trained in CPR, chest compressions only are recommended.<br />The main purpose of CPR is to keep oxygenated blood partially flowing to the brain and heart as it may delay tissue death and extend the window of opportunity to get the heart started through electric shock treatment, better know as defibrillation which is needed to restore a viable pulse. Keeping the blood flowing even partially aids in keeping the victim from suffering brain damage provided that CPR was commenced quickly. <br />So for the sake of your family, if you own a pool then it is important to take a course in CPR as well as making sure there is a CPR sign in the pool area where it can be seen. As well as making sure your pool is in compliance and obtaining a pool safety certificate, you can register your pool with the Pool Safety Register. All of things go a long way towards keeping your loved ones safe.<br />http://www.poolinspectionsbrisbane.net.au<br />
