    The document discusses basic life support including airway, breathing, circulation, automated external defibrillator, and management of choking. It highlights changes from the 2015 resuscitation guidelines including emphasis on early recognition, high quality CPR, and public access to defibrillators. The chain of survival is summarized as early recognition and call for help, early bystander CPR, early defibrillation, and early advanced life support and post-resuscitation care.

    Original Description:

    Nurses and nursing students must be aware of potential barriers to communication. In addition to considering common communication barriers discussed in the previous section, there are several nontherapeutic responses to avoid. These responses often block the patient’s communication of their feelings or ideas.

    BASIC LIFE SUPPORT

    Basic life support (BLS) includes:


    1. Airway,
    2. Breathing
    3. Circulation
    4. Automated external defibrillator (AED)
    5. Management of choking or foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO)
    Highlights in 2015 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR)
    changes
    a. The 2015 ILCOR guidelines highlights the critical importance of the
    interactions between the emergency medical dispatcher, the bystander who
    perform CPR and the use of AED.
    b. Emphasis on importance of early recognition of cardiac arrest (telephone
    CPR - dial 999) via MERS (Malaysian Emergency Response System).
    c. Emphasis on high quality CPR.
    i. Compression rate 100-120 compressions per minute
    ii. The depth is 5cm to 6cm
    iii. Minimal interruption in chest compression (< 10 seconds)
    iv. Allow spontaneous recoil of the chest wall in between compressions.
    d. Awareness that seizures can be a sign of cardiac arrest.
    e. Real time CPR feedback should be used to ensure high quality CPR if
    available. The use of real time CPR feedback in clinical practice should be
    considered as part of a comprehensive system for care for cardiac arrest.
    f. Implementation of public-access defibrillator program.

    The chain of survival The Chain of Survival summarizes the vital links needed for successful
    resuscitation. Most of these links apply to victims of both primary cardiac and asphyxia arrest.

    1. Early recognition and call for help

     Chest pain should be recognized as a symptom of myocardial ischemia.


     Cardiac arrest occurs in a quarter to a third of patients with myocardial ischemia within
    the first hour after onset of chest pain.
     Recognizing the cardiac origin of chest pain, and calling the emergency services before
    a victim collapses, enables rapid activation of Emergency Response System (ERS).
     If cardiac arrest has occurred, early recognition is critical to enable rapid activation of the
    ERS and prompt initiation of bystander CPR. The key observations are
    unresponsiveness and not breathing normally. Emergency medical dispatchers can
    improve recognition by focusing on these keywords.
    2. Early bystander CPR

     The immediate initiation of CPR can increase the survival rate from cardiac arrest. If
    able, bystanders with CPR training should give chest compressions together with
    ventilations.
    3. Early defibrillation

     Defibrillation within 3–5 mins of collapse can produce survival rates as high as 50–70%.
    Each minute of delay to defibrillation reduces the probability of survival to discharge by
    10–12%. The links in the chain work better together: when bystander CPR is provided,
    the decline in survival is more gradual and averages 3–4% per minute delay to
    defibrillation.
    4. Early advanced life support and post-resuscitation care

     Early initiation of advanced life support and post resuscitation care will improve the
    survival of the victims.

    ADULT BASIC LIFE SUPPORT


    The sequence of steps for the initial assessment and treatment of the unresponsive victim
    are as below. If the patient is unresponsive with abnormal or absent breathing, it is
    reasonable for the emergency dispatcher to assume that the patient is in cardiac arrest
    PAEDIA TRIC BA SIC L I FE SUPPORT

    1. Introduction

    The majority of paediatric cardiorespiratory arrests are mostly caused by respiratory

    insufficiency but not due to primary cardiac problem. Ventilation is a very important

    component of CPR in children.

    Health care workers (HCW) who are unable or unwilling to provide breaths should be

    encouraged to perform at least compression-only CPR. A child is far more likely to be

    harmed if the bystander does nothing.

    All HCPs should initiate CPR in children even if they haven't been taught specific

    paediatric techniques. CPR should be started with the compression: ventilation ratio of

    15:2.
