• Immediate recognition of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)
• Activation of the emergency response system
• Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
• Rapid defibrillation With an automated external defibrillator (AED)
• Initial recognition and response to heart attack and stroke are also considered part of BLS.

•Pulse Check•Early CPR Chest compressions
(Ratio ???) Rescue Breaths
•Early Defibrillation With an AED

• Effective chest compressions are essential for providing blood flow during CPR. • For this reason all patients in
cardiac arrest should receive chest compressions (Class I).• To provide effective chest
compressions, push hard and push fast.

FIRST AID AND RESCUE
• Adult 30:2• Child 30:2 and if two rescuers 15:2
(What Speed and Depth)100 compression per min and 5cm of depth

FBAO
• If FBAO is mild, do not interfere. • Allow the victim to clear the airway by coughing.
• If the FBAO is severe (victim unable to make a sound) you must act the relieve the obstruction.• Responsive Pt:
• Ask to cough, and don’t interfere with their own actions to remove object (unless pt becomes unconscious. )
• Child: If pt unable to help himself assist by doing upwards abdominal thrusts.• Infant: 5 back slaps, and 5 chest thrusts.
• Unresponsive Pt:• Being CPR regimen and every two minutes re-asses , see if you cant see FBAO
