Basic Life Support- you should know this.

      Basic life support are usually familiar to people who work in medical field and some foundations offers training for this. But since these days there are already many unavoidable situation that brought also by some reason, we as normal individual should need to have background with basic life support. Some of the victim are those that experienced choking, drowning, unconscious and most famous of all is the occurrence of heart attack.

      Some of the points that you need to remember when we need to do basic life support are as follows:

First: Place the victim in a safe area and shake his shoulder and look for any signs of life (blinking,movement, swallowing or breathing) and ask in a loud voice "SIR ARE YOU OKAY?"

Second: Call the emergency number

Third: Ask an assistance from the bystanders

Fourth: Kneel near the victim's head and shoulder. Place your one palm or heel of your palm at

the center of the sternum. Then place your other hand above the other and make sure that your arm are straight forward. Push down using upper weight not your arm. Do compression atleast 2 inches into the chest for about 100 bpm.

Fifth: To check if the victim's breathing is present, place your hand in his forehead and start tilting his head and chin. Lift his chin forward to open his airway using your other hand. For 5 to 10 seconds, feel if there's air moving out from the victim's mouth and nose or if there's chest movement.

Sixth: If breathing is still absent, it is now time to do rescue breathing. Pinch the victim's nose and cover his mouth with your mouth  completely. Do two rescue breath and observe if the victim's chest is moving upward or if there is rise and fall. After rescue breathing, continue another cycle of 30 compression until normal breathing is achieve and as well as while waiting for ambulance help. 

      It is very important the somehow we had background with this topic because we don't know what happen along the way.
