Basic life support
Basic
life support - represents the measures taken by the rescuer to ensure the vital
functions of the victim without the help of medical equipment and aims to
ensure a minimum of oxygenation of the brain in order to prevent irreversible
brain damage.
THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
- The "Chain of Survival" concept represents the vital steps that must be followed for a successful resuscitation.
- This "chain" consists of 4 links: Quick access to 112, SVB quick, quick defibrillation, SVA quick.
- Immediate recognition of the emergency and call for qualified help (112).
- Starting resuscitation maneuvers as quickly as possible.
- Defibrillation as quickly as possible.
- Ensuring adequate advanced life support.
- Between these links there must be very good communication for resuscitation to be successful.
THE RISKS OF THE SAVIOR
Before approaching a victim, the rescuer must ensure that there is no imminent danger from the surrounding environment.
Environmental risks: traffic, unstable constructions, electricity, gas, water, toxic substances.
Risks related to the victim: contact with communicable diseases, poisoning.
Technique-related risks: use of the defibrillator, use of sharp instruments.
