Basic Life Support

1) Choking occurs when a person has severe difficulty breathing due to an obstructed throat or lack of air from a foreign object lodged in the throat. 2) Basic life support involves initial assessment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and contacting emergency services to save more lives. 3) CPR combines chest compressions and rescue breathing to manually preserve brain function until further medical treatment can be provided in a hospital setting.
