Basic Life Support Training Concepts

Basic Life Support (BLS) is a set of life-saving techniques that are used in emergency situations to support the vital functions of the body, such as breathing and circulation. BLS is typically performed by medical professionals or first responders who are trained to respond to emergency situations.The goal of BLS is to keep the person alive until more advanced medical care can be provided.

BLS techniques include cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which involves chest compressions and rescue breathing, as well as the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to restore heart rhythm. BLS also involves the management of airway obstruction, control of bleeding, and stabilization of fractures.

BLS Training (Basic Life Support Training)

1. Assessment and Safety

Before starting any resuscitation efforts, the healthcare provider must ensure that the scene is safe and assess the patient’s responsiveness. The provider should check for breathing and pulse, and if there is no breathing or pulse, begin CPR immediately. It is essential to maintain the patient’s safety and prevent further injury during the resuscitation process.

2. Chest Compressions

High-quality chest compressions are critical to the success of CPR. The healthcare provider should compress the patient’s chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, with a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) for adults and children and at least 1.5 inches (4 cm) for infants. The provider should allow for full chest recoil between compressions and minimize interruptions in compressions.

3. Airway Management

Maintaining a patient airway is essential during resuscitation efforts. The healthcare provider should open the patient’s airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and assess for breathing. If the patient is not breathing, the provider should provide rescue breaths at a rate of one breath every 5 to 6 seconds for adults and children and one breath every 3 to 5 seconds for infants.

4. Rescue Breathing

Rescue breathing is an essential component of BLS for Healthcare Providers. The healthcare provider should provide rescue breaths at a rate of one breath every 5 to 6 seconds for adults and children and one breath every 3 to 5 seconds for infants. The provider should ensure that each breath is delivered over 1 second and results in visible chest rise.

Our BLS Training Course equips individuals with the necessary skills to handle critical situations effectively.

OUR TOOLS

Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that delivers an electric shock to the heart in cases of cardiac arrest. AEDs are designed to be used by anyone, even those without medical AED training, and can be found in public places such as airports, schools, and shopping centers.
