    This document discusses basic life support (BLS) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It defines cardiac arrest as the sudden cessation of heart function and pulse in an unconscious patient. The BLS sequence involves assessing for responsiveness, calling for help, opening the airway, checking breathing, calling emergency services, performing 30 chest compressions, and giving 2 rescue breaths. The goal is to restore oxygenated blood circulation through chest compressions and ventilation until advanced medical help arrives or normal breathing resumes.

    • Definition of the1st aid.
    • Definition of cardiac arrest.
    • Causes of cardiac arrest.
    • BLS sequences.
    Definition of the 1st aid:
    It is the immediate care given to an injured or suddenly ill person.

    Definition of cardiac arrest:

    Sudden cessation of heart beat and cardiac function.

    … No pulse , No breathing in unconscious patient.

    Basic life support:


    Sequences of procedures performed to restore the circulation of oxygenated blood
    after pulmonary and/ or cardiac arrest.

    Chest compression and pulmonary ventilation performed by anyone who knows


    how to do it anywhere, immediately without any other equipment.

    Causes of cardiac arrest:


     Airway obstruction.
     Breathing inadequacy.
     Cardiac abnormalities.
    1ry causes:
    Ischemia, myocardial infarction, valve disease, drug, acidosis, hypertension,
    hypothermia, electrolyte disturbance.

    2ry causes:

    Severe hypoxemia, anemia, hypothermia, hypovolemia, septic shock.

     Place the heel of one


    hand in the cebntre of the
    chest.
     Place other hand on top.
     Interlock the fingers.
     Compress the chest.
     Rate 100 min-1.
     Depth 5-6 cm.
     Equal compression and
    relaxation.
     When possible (2 or more
    rescuers) change CPR
    operator every 2 min. to
    prevent fatigue.

    2 rescue breaths

    2 Rescue breaths

    By mouth to mouth breathing:


    1-open airway by head tilt chin left.

    2-pinsh the patient nose.

    4-give the patient deep breath over 1 to 2 sec.

    5-observe inflation of the chest and repeat the same steps for the 2nd breath.
    Continue CPR

    30 : 2
    Continue resuscitation until:
    Qualified help arrives and take over.
