Abstract
Abstract
The guidelines for cardio-pulmonary resuscitation are updated every five years. Basic life support is the foundation for saving lives after cardiac arrest. BLS encompasses three major aspects: airway control, artificial respiration and cardiac massage.
The 5 links in the adult Chain of Survival are
Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with an emphasis on chest compressions Rapid defibrillation Effective advanced life support Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
A strong Chain of Survival can improve chances of survival and recovery for victims of heart attack, stroke and other emergencies. In this article, we reviewed the recent advances in the updated CPR guidelines.
