In a world where life’s uncertainties abound, possessing basic life skills can make all the difference. This is where Basic Life Support (BLS) training comes into play, offering the essential knowledge and abilities to be a lifesaver, by providing First Aid when it matters most.

 

*Understanding Basic Life Support:*

BLS encompasses the basic life skills needed to sustain someone in a life-threatening situation until professional medical help arrives. It’s not just for healthcare professionals; anyone can learn and benefit from it.

 

*Steps of BLS:*

1. *Assessment:* The first step involves assessing the victim’s condition and ensuring personal safety.

2. *Activation:* Call your local emergency number immediately.

3. *CPR:* Perform high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), combining chest compressions and rescue breaths.

4. *Defibrillation:* Use an automated external defibrillator (AED) if available, following the device’s instructions.

 

*Elements of Basic Life Support:*

– Early recognition of emergencies.

– Prompt activation of the emergency response system.

– Immediate initiation of high-quality CPR.

– Rapid defibrillation with an AED.
