Chain of Survival

The Chain of Survival is a series of crucial steps that increase the chances of survival in emergencies, especially cardiac arrests. It includes early recognition of the problem, immediate activation of emergency services, early CPR to keep blood flowing, rapid defibrillation to restore a normal heart rhythm, and advanced medical care from professionals. Each link in the chain is vital; missing even one can reduce the chances of survival. By understanding and acting on these steps, bystanders can significantly impact someone’s life in an emergency situation.
