Learn to deliver Basic Life support and help to save a life




Indications and contraindications : 

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR ) should be performed immediately on any person who has become unconscious and is found to be pulse less anywhere . 
In time Chest compression can be life saving and can  help in the full recovery of  the patient before the patient is shifted to near by hospital.  
One can continue chest compression during transportation of the patient on a stable surface . 
The above video shows how to deliver chest compression in an unconscious patient or when patient has no pulse .EVERY SECOND counts  and to learn basic life support is very important for every one. 

When facilities are available :-

. Assessment of cardiac electrical activity via rapid “rhythm strip” recording can provide a more detailed analysis of the type of cardiac arrest, as well as indicate additional treatment options.
Loss of effective cardiac activity is generally due to the spontaneous initiation of a non perfusing arrhythmia, sometimes referred to as a malignant arrhythmia. The most common non perfusing arrhythmias include the following:
  • Ventricular fibrillation (VF)
  • Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT)
  • Pulseless electrical activity (PEA)
  • Asystole
  • Pulse less bradycardia
CPR should be started before the rhythm is identified and should be continued while the defibrillator is being applied and charged. Additionally, CPR should be resumed immediately after a defibrillatory shock until a pulsatile state is established
