Overview

Basic Life Support is the first line of management for an illness or injury, generally by any bystander, until medical intervention can be started. It includes recognizing signs of sudden cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke, and foreign body airway obstruction. BLS also includes performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation with an automated external defibrillator. BLS can save lives of many people. It is the need of the hour that everyone needs to learn about. Non healthcare providers are individuals who do not possess formal medical training or qualifications but find themselves in situations where they need to administer first aid, perform CPR, or offer immediate assistance during medical emergencies.
