FIRST AID & BASIC LIFE SUPPORT

Basic Life Support, or BLS, generally refers to the type of care that first-responders, healthcare
providers and public safety professionals provide to anyone who is experiencing cardiac arrest,
respiratory distress or an obstructed airway. It requires knowledge and skills in cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR), using automated external defibrillators (AED) and relieving airway obstructions
in patients of every age.

RULES IN GIVING EMERGENCY CARE

Safety First
Obtain consent, when possible
Think the worst
Remember to IDENTIFY yourself to the victim
Provide Comfort and Emotional support
Respect the victim's modesty and physical privacy
Be calm and as direct as possible
Care for the most serious injuries first
Assist the victim with their prescription medication
Keep onlookers away from the injured person
Handle the victim to minimum
DO NOT let the victim see his own injury
DO NOT leave the victim alone except to get help
DO NOT assume that the victims' obvious injuries are the only ones
DO NOT make any unrealistic promises

CARDIO PULMONARY RESUSCITATION


Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that's useful in many emergencies,
such as a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped.

Always do the CAB method to check the patient.


How to check;
Circulation (Wrist and Neck Pulse)
Airway (Put a finger close to the nose to check if there’s an air moving out)
(Put your ear close to the mouth to check if there’s the breathing sound)

Breathing (Watch the stomach and chest if it is moving)

If the patients does not show any of the CAB process, then proceed to CPR.
Before starting CPR, check:

Is the environment safe?

Is the person conscious or unconscious? (Use CAB Method)

If the person appears unconscious, tap or shake his or her shoulder and ask loudly, "Are you OK?"

If the person doesn't respond and you're with another person who can help, have one person call 911 or
the local emergency number and get the AED, if one is available. Have the other person begin CPR.

If you are alone and have immediate access to a telephone, call 911 or your local emergency number
before beginning CPR. Get the AED if one is available.

As soon as an AED is available, deliver one shock if instructed by the device, then begin CPR.

How to do CPR (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plse2FOkV4Q)

Keep your hands on the person’s head/chin. Place your cheek above their mouth and look at their chest.
Look, listen and feel for normal, regular breathing for up to 10 seconds.

Irregular shallow gasps is not normal breathing. This is a phenomenon known as ‘agonal breathing’ and
should be ignored. Patients who have just suffered a cardiac arrest may display agonal breathing.
