This document provides information on basic life support (BLS) procedures for responding to cardiac arrest. It outlines the steps of BLS including assessing the victim, performing chest compressions and rescue breathing, and placing an unconscious breathing victim in the recovery position. BLS procedures are described as the first line of defense for restoring oxygenated blood flow after sudden cardiac or pulmonary arrest and include immediately performing chest compressions and ventilation without any equipment other than protective devices. The key steps of BLS response are approach safely, check response, call for help, open airway, check breathing, give 30 chest compressions, and 2 rescue breaths and continuing in cycles until spontaneous circulation returns or medical help takes over.

- 2. OBJECTIVES Participants should be able to demonstrate: How to assess the collapsed victim How to perform chest compressions and rescue breathing How to place an unconscious breathing victim in the recovery position.
- 3. The American Heart Association (AHA) estimates that about 3,50,000 people die of cardiac arrest each year. Approximately 4280 out of every one lakh people die every year from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in India alone. About 74-80% of all sudden cardiac arrests happen at home; so being trained in CPR can mean the difference between life & death for a member of your family. BACKGROUND
- 4. Approximately 10% of SCA events occur among people less than 40 years of age. Effective bystander CPR, provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest, can double victims chance of survival. The survival rates for performing basic life support alone are reported between 0% & 6%. CPR cannot ‘restart’ the heart, but it can keep blood and oxygen moving through the victim’s body until medical help arrives. BACKGROUND CONTINUED…
- 6. SEQUENCES OF PROCEDURES PERFORMED TO RESTORE THE CIRCULATION OF OXYGENATED BLOOD AFTER A SUDDEN PULMONARY AND/OR CARDIAC ARREST. CHEST COMPRESSIONS AND PULMONARY VENTILATION PERFORMED BY ANYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO IT, ANYWHERE, IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN A PROTECTIVE DEVICE. BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
- 7. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths
- 8. Scene Rescuer Victim Bystanders Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths APPROACH SAFELY
- 9. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths CHECK RESPONSE
- 10. Shake shoulders gently Ask “Are you all right?” If he responds Leave as you find him. Find out what is wrong. Reassess regularly. CHECK RESPONSE
- 11. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths SHOUT FOR HELP
- 12. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths OPEN AIRWAY
- 13. Head tilt, chin lift + jaw thrust - healthcare professionals
- 14. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths CHECK BREATHING
- 15. Look, listen and feel for NORMAL breathing Do not confuse agonal breathing with NORMAL breathing CHECK BREATHING
- 16. Occurs shortly after the heart stops in up to 40% of cardiac arrests Described as barely, heavy, noisy or gasping breathing Recognise as a sign of cardiac arrest Erroneous information can result in withholding CPR from cardiac arrest victim AGONAL BREATHING
- 17. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths 30 CHEST COMPRESSIONS
- 18. • Place the heel of one hand in the centre of the chest • Place other hand on top • Interlock fingers • Compress the chest – Rate 100 min-1 – Depth 4-5 cm – Equal compression : relaxation • When possible change CPR operator every 2 min CHEST COMPRESSIONS
- 19. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths RESCUE BREATHS
- 20. RESCUE BREATHS Pinch the nose Take a normal breath Place lips over mouth Blow until the chest rises Take about 1 second Allow chest to fall Repeat
- 21. RECOMMENDATIONS: - Tidal volume 500 – 600 ml - Respiratory rate give each breaths over about 1s with enough volume to make the victim’s chest rise - Chest-compression-only continuously at a rate of 100 min RESCUE BREATHS
- 22. CONTINUE C P R 30 2
- 23. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths
- 24. IF VICTIM STARTS TO BREATHE NORMALLY PLACE IN RECOVERY POSITION
- 26. Qualified help arrives and takes over The victim starts breathing normally Rescuer becomes exhausted CONTINUE RESUSCITATION UNTIL
- 27. SPONTANEOUS signs of circulation are restored. TURNED over to medical services or properly trained and authorized personnel. OPERATOR is already exhausted & cannot continue CPR. PHYSICIAN assumes responsibility (declares death, take over etc) WHEN TO STOP CPR
