Description
[edit | edit source]
Maintaining an airway and supporting breathing and circulation without the use of technology is what basic life support (BLS) entails (except for a protective shield).
It includes the following steps: (a) initial evaluation; (b) airway maintenance; (c) expired air ventilation; and (d) chest compression. [1]Cardiac arrests and accidents are perhaps the most prevalent types of serious emergencies, yet basic actions and abilities can help, and timely CPR can double or treble the odds of survival. [2]
