BASIC LIFE SUPPORT IN
ADULTS
PRESENTED BY MAJ TANIA BOSE
BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
• IT REFERS TO THE CARE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS OR ANY PUBLIC
CAN ADMINISTER TO A PERSON WHO IS EXPERIENCING RESPIRATORY
ARREST, CARDIAC ARREST OR AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION.
• BLS INCLUEDS PERFORMING EFFECTIVE CPR, MAINTAINANCE
EFFECTIVE AIRWAY AND USE OF EXTERNAL DEFEB OR AED.
QUALITIES REQUIRED TO PERFORM BLS
• CRITICAL THINKING
• CALM
• PROBLEM SOLVING ATTITUDE
• AWARENESS AND ALERTNESS ABOUT ENVIRONMENT
• GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS
OBJECTIVE OF THIS CLASS
• ASSESSING AN EMERGENCY SITUTATION
• PERFORMING EFFECTIVE CHEST COMPRESSION
• SECURING AN EFFECTIVE AIRWAY
• PLACING A VICTIM AWAY FROM DANGER
BASIC MANTRA OF BLS
• C ( circulation)
• A (Airway)
• B (breathing)
CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
WHAT TO DO
• APPROACH SEAFTY
• CHECK FOR RESPONSE
• SHOUT FOR HELP
• OPEN AIRWAY
• CLEAR VISIBLE OBSTRUCTION
• CHECK BREATHING
• CHECK FOR PULSE( CAROTID/CENTRAL)
• START CPR - MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE AIRWAY
• ADMINISTER BREATHS
PRIMARY ASSESMENT OF UNRESPONSIVE
PATIENT
• SEE FOR AVPU
1. A= Alertness
2. V =Verbal Response (response to verbal stimuli)
3. P= Pain( Response to painful stimuli)
4. U= Unresponsiveness (do not respond)
COMMUNICATE
1. SHOUT FOR HELP
2. CALL FOR MEDICAL HELP/ ACTIVATE CODE BLUE
OPEN THE AIRWAY
• Make sure the patient is in supine position
• Apply techniques of opening airway
Contd…
• Open airway by head extension
HEAD TILL CHIN LIFT TECHNIQUE
• Finger swipe the mouth if visible
solid material is found
• Suction the airway if in a health care
set up
(press down on the forehead while
Pulling up the bony part of chin with
Two or three finger)
JAW THRUST TECHNIQUE
• If neck or spine injury is suspected
(kneel above the patients
Head, put one hand on each
side of patients head,with
Thumbs towards chin,using
Elbow for support. Thrust
The jaw upwards,without
Moving the head or neck and
Open the airway)
CHECK FOR BREATHING
• Look, feel, listen and assess the breathing
• Don’t get confused
with agonal breathing.
(isolated or infrequent
Grasping)
CHECK FOR PULSE
• Central pulse ( preferably carotid pulse)
• For 10 sec
PRIMARY ASSESMENT RESULT
RESPIRATORY ARREST CARDIAC ARREST
1. If patient is not breathing but having definitive pulse 1. If there is no breathing and no pulse, but cardiac
arrest is different from MI
2. Priority is ventilation 2. When assessed that patient is in cardiac arrest
initiate CPR followed by ventilation
3. 1 ventilation every 5-6 sec for adult, each
ventilation of 1 sec duration, making chest rise
4. Continue till patient starts breathing or being
intubated
5. Assess for effective ventilation
CHEST COMPRESSION
• Make sure patient is on a firm and flat surface
• Chest has to be exposed , to ensure proper recoil
• Hands are correctly positioned with heel of
one hand in the centre of chest on the lower
half of sternum with other hand on top
• Arms are straight, preferably 90 degree
• Compression at rate of 100 to 120 beats/min,
• Proper depth of at least 2 inches
• Chest must be allowed to recoil
between each compression.
• Change CPR operator every 2 min
VENTILATION
• Ventilation supply oxygen to a patient via different way
1. Moth to mouth breathing
2. Bag mask ventilation
(during CPR give 2 ventilation that last approx 1 sec each and make the
chest rise)
• RECOMMENDATION
• Tidal volume 500-600 ml
• With ratio of 30:2(2 ventilation with 30 compression)
MOUTH TO MOUTH BREATHING
• Pinch the nose
• Take a normal breath
• Place lips over mouth
• Blow until the chest rise
• Take 1 sec to allow the chest fall
• Repeat
BAG MASK VENTILATION
• Open the airway at the top of the patients head
• Use E-C hand position , seal the mask completely around the patients
mouth and nose by lifting the jaw into the mask while maintaining an
open airway
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION IN ADVANCE
AIRWAY
• If the patient is having an advance airway eg supraglottic airway or
ET , the CPR is slightly different
1. At least two rescuer must be present
2. One gives ventilation , 1 ventilation every 6-8 sec, about 8-10
ventilation per min
3. Other continues a CPR with100 to 120 compression per min
4. No pause between compression
5. Not to maintain 30:2 ratio in this case
AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILATORS
• It is a portable electronic device that automatically analyse the
patients heart rhythm and can provide defibrillation,
• When a patient experience a cardiac arrest , an AED should be applied
as soon as one is readily available
• AED deliver defibrillation with two specific dysrhythmias, ventricular
fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
USING AED
• Turn it on
• Make sure the chest is clearly exposed and dry
• Use adult pad( over age of 8 years and weight more than 50 pounds)
• Place one pad on the upper chest, below the right clavicle to the right of the
sternum, other pad on the left side of the chest on the mid axillary line a few inches
below the left armpit.
• Tell everyone to clear while AED analyse a shockable rhythm
• Deliver the shock by pressing shock button if indicated
• After shock delivered continue the compression and continue about 2 min
compression
• While AED prompts that it is reanalyzing
DO’S AND DON’T OF FOR AED USE
• DO’S
1. Before shocking no one is touching the patient
2. Use AED for a patient in cardiac arrest
3. AED can be used in pregnant patient, as the shock don’t herm the
fetus
• Donts
1. Do not use alcohol to wipe the patients chest dry
2. Do not defibrillate someone when inflammable object is around.
STOPPING CPR
• Sign of ROSC(return of spontaneous circulation)/ recovery
• An AED is always kept ready to analyse the heart rate and also rhythm
, which is showing no chance of revival , cardiac arrest more than 30
mins.
• Presented with valid DNR order( do not rescue order)
• Scene around become unsafe
RECOVERY POSITION
CAUSES OF CPR TO BE FAILED
• Delay in initiation
• Improper procedure
• No ACLS follow up and delayed in defibrillation
• Massive heart attack
