Presentation Transcript

BASIC LIFESUPPORT : 

HARPREET KAUR B.SC.(N)INTERN BASIC LIFESUPPORT

DEFINITION : 

BLS is BASIC LIFE SUPPORT It is sequence of actions taken during first few minutes of an emergency that require prompt action for resuscitation of an unresponsive victim. Resuscitation is a method which include all measures that are applied to revive patients who have stopped breathing suddenly and unexpectedly due to either respiratory or cardiac failure. CPR is technique of BLS DEFINITION

INDICATION OF BLS : 

INDICATION OF BLS Respiratory Arrest: Ineffective oxygenation and ventilation. Respiration is absent. Caused by drowning ,stroke, smoke inhalation, foreign body inhalation. Cardiac Arrest : Circulation ceases . May have ‘Gasping’ or ‘Agonal’ breathing Caused by ventricular fibrillation, asystole, tachycardia

PURPOSES OF BLS : 

To maintain Open and clear airway Breathing by artificial ventilation Blood circulation. To save life. To provide basic life support till the medical and advanced life support. PURPOSES OF BLS

PRINCIPLE OF BLS : 

To restore effective ventilation and circulation. To prevent cerebral damage. To save time. To do series of assessment and interventions. PRINCIPLE OF BLS

SEQUENCE OF BLS : 

Rapid scene survey. Asses responsiveness. Activate emergency. Perform A-airway B-breathing C-circulation D-defibrillation SEQUENCE OF BLS

RAPID SCENE SURVEY : 

Safety for the rescuer at the scene of emergency. Safety of the victim :look for trauma and prevent further injury – to prevent further injury ASSES RESPONSIVENESS Tap gently the victim and shout ‘are you alright?’ – for asessing conciousness RAPID SCENE SURVEY

EMERGENCY CALL : 

Activate emergency medical services. Emergency no. 911 POSITIONING Victim: Place the victim on the hard surface. ‘log roll position’ EMERGENCY CALL

1 person rescuer: : 

Position to the face of victim on the knees parallel to victim’s sternum. 2 persons rescuer One person faced victim kneeling parallel to victim’s head and second person moves to opposite side and faces victim ,kneeling parallel to victim' sternum. 1 person rescuer:

OPENING THE AIRWAY : 

Tongue is the most common cause of airway obstruction in unresponsive patient. Head tilt – chin lift maneuevr lifts the tongue and relieves obstruction . Jaw thrust maneuver in the cases of suspected neck injuries. Quickly remove food particles, or loose dentures, if any. OPENING THE AIRWAY

B:BREATHING : 

ASSESSMENT: Look – Rise and fall of chest. Feel – Air escaping during exhalation. Listen – feel for the flow of air. If breathing is present: recovery position (waving goodbye with taking a map) B:BREATHING

Slide 12: 

If breathing is inadequate: provide 2 rescue breaths RESCUE BREATHING – The rescue inflates the victim lungs adequately with each breath. Various techniques: Mouth to mouth Mouth to nose Mouth to stoma Mouth to barrier device Bag mask technique

Slide 13: 

Mouth to mouth breathing: Give 2 slow breaths with small volume over 1 sec just enough to rise the chest

Slide 14: 

Bag-mask technique Use of bridge of nose as guide for applying mask. Place 3rd 4th and 5th fingers along bony portion of mandible : ‘E’ Thumb and index finger on the mask : ‘C’

C:CIRCULATION : 

Check carotid pulse. If absent do chest compressions. Chest compressions: Place hands 1 to 2 cms above the xiphoid process on sternum. In infants use of index finger and middle finger is done and in children heel of 1 hand is used. Parallel hands. Interlock fingers. Extend arms (straight). C:CIRCULATION

Slide 16: 

Compress down on sternum 4-5 cms at 100/min in adults. Release the pressure without loosing contact and allowed to recoil to refill the chest. Don’t change hand positions. Recommended rate: 100/min Compression : ventillation 30: 2 when 1 rescuer 30: 2 when 2 rescuer 15 : 2 when 2 rescuer(infants and children)

Effective chest compression : 

Push hard and push fast. Recoil of chest. Avoid interruptions. Effective chest compression

D:DEFIBRILLATION : 

AEDS : Automated external defibrillators. One shock – Biphasic : 150 – 200 J - Monophasic : 350 J D:DEFIBRILLATION

ADULT BLS :
