BLS (Basic Life Support)

Basic Life Support (BLS) is a set of emergency procedures used to help someone who is unconscious or not breathing. It typically includes checking the person's responsiveness, calling for help, and performing chest compressions and rescue breaths if needed. BLS aims to maintain blood circulation and oxygen flow until professional medical help arrives. It can be administered by anyone, even without medical training, and is crucial in cardiac emergencies to improve survival chances. Knowing BLS can make a significant difference in saving a life during critical situations.
