    INSTITUTE OF NURSINFG SCIENCES KMU
    BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
     Basic life support is the recognition of sudden cardiac arrest and
    activation of the emergency response system, followed
    by the resuscitation, and rapid defibrillation.
     According to the WHO Pakistan has one of the highest
    mortality rates from accidental deaths therefore assessment and
    comparison of BLS knowledge in health professional is crucial.
     Basic life support is a level of medicine care which is used for
    victims of life threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be
    given full medical care at a hospital.
     Cardic arrest occur when the heart stops pumping in a regular
    rhythum.
    In this situation ,early defibrillation is the key to returning the
    victims heart back to normal rhythm.
    CPR(Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)
     Cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) is a life saving technique.
     CPR is a lifesaving action used in emergencies when someone is not
    breathing or their heart is not beating.
     It aims to keep blood and oxygen flowing through the body when a
    person's heart and breathing stopped.
     According to the American heart association ,CPR can double or
    triple the chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
     The primary goal of CPR is to keep blood flow active until medical
    professionals arrive.
    HIGH QUALITY CPR
    1. start compression with in 10 second of recognition of cardiac arrest.
    2.Push hard ,push fast, compress at a rate of 100 to120/min with a
    depth of,
     At least 2 inches 5cm for adult.
     At least 2 inches (5cm) for children.
     At least 1 ½ (4cm) for infants.
    3.Allow complete chest recoil after each compression.
    4.Give effective breaths that make the chest rise
    5.Avoid excessive ventilation
    6.ventilate adequately 2 breaths after 30 compression ,each
    breath deliver over one second, each causing chest rise.
    ADULT CHAIN OF SURVIVAL

    SCENE SAFTY AND ASSESMENT

    Verify Scene Safety for Responsiveness, and get Help


    1.verify that the scene is safe for you and the victim.
    2.Check the responseiveness.tap the victims shulder
    and shut ,Are you okay.
    3.If the victims are not responsive, shut for nearby help.
    4.Active emergency response system.
    5.If you are alone ,get the AED and emergency equipment.
    if someone is available, send that person to get help.
    Assess for Breathing and Pulse

    To minimize delay in starting CPR,assess breathing at the same


    time as you check pulse. This should take no more than 10 seconds.
    6.Check for breathing ,check the victim's chest.
    7.Locate the trachea ,using 2-3 fingers.
    8.Slide these 2-3 fingers into the groove between the trachea and
    the muscles at the side of the neck, where you can feel the
    carotid pulse.
    9.Feel for a pulse for at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds.
    ADULT COMPRESSIONS
    1.Position yourself at the victims side.
    2.Make sure that the victim is lying face up on the firm flat surface.
    3. Position your hands and body to perform chest compression,
    put the heel of one hand in the center of the victims chest, on
    the lower half of the breast bone.
    Put the heel of your other hand on top of the first hand.
    4.Straighten your arms and position your shoulder directly over
    your hands.
    5.Give chest compression at a rate of 100-120/min.
    6.Press down at least 2 inch 5cm with each compression.
    7.At the end of each compression ,make sure you allow
    the chest to recoil completely.
    ADULT BREATH AND POCKET
    MASK

    you lift the jaw to hold the airway open.
    4.Squeeze the bag to give breaths(1 second each)while watching
    the chest rise.
    5.Deliver each breath over one second, whether or not you use
    supplementary oxygen.
    AUTOMATED EXTERNAL
    DEFIBRILLATOR
    The automated external defibrillator is a device that recognize ventricular
    dysrhythmias and deliver shock at the right time. The treatment
    For ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation or, the delivery of an
    Electric shock to the heart through the victims chest wall.
    Steps
    1.Power on, the AED if needed, some device will power
    on automatically when you open the lid.

    4. when the AED prompt you Clear the victims during analysis, Be sure that no one is
    touching the victim.
    5.If the AED advice a shock ,it will tell you to clear the victim and will deliver a shock
    ,look to sure no one in contact with the victim, press the shock button.
    6.If no shock is needed ,and after any shock delivery, immediately resume CPR,
    start with chest compression.
    7.After about 5 cycle or 2 minutes CPR,the AED will prompts you to repeat steps 3,4.
    Rescuer task in 2-Rescuer CPR
    (Rescuer 1 (Compressions) at the victims side)
     Make sure the victim is face up on a firm, flat surface.
     Perform chest compressions.

     Switch compressor about every 5 cycle or every two minutes.
    (or more frequently if fatigued)
    Rescuer 2 (breaths)
    (At the victims head)
    Maintain open airway by using either head tilt –chin lift .
    Give breath ,watching for chest rise and avoiding excessive ventilation.
    Encourage the first rescuer to perform compression that are deep
    enough and fast enough.
    When only two rescuer are available ,switch compressors about every
    5 cycle or every minutes.
    Child basic life support
    Verify scene safety ,check for responsiveness, and get help
    1.verify that the scene is safe for you and the victim.
    2.Check the responseiveness.tap the victims shoulder and shut ,
