    This document provides guidelines for basic life support (BLS). It outlines the steps of assessing for danger, checking response with the COWS method, sending for help by calling an ambulance, providing chest compressions (CPR) at 100 compressions per minute, opening the airway with head tilt/chin lift or jaw thrust maneuvers, and checking breathing by looking, listening, and feeling for 10 seconds. It emphasizes that CPR should be the top priority to provide circulatory support if there are no signs of life. Vital signs like pulse, breathing rate, and temperature are also listed for infants, children, and adults.
