What is the AHA BLS Algorithm for?
|
BLS for someone that is not moving or responsive?
|
|
|
What are the steps in the AHA BLS Algorithm?
|
1. Check for movement and/or responsiveness
2. If not moving and/or responsive, call 911 and get AED 3. Open airway and check breathing 4. If not breathing, give two breaths 5. If no change after giving two breaths, check pulse 5A. If they have a pulse, give one breath every five to six seconds, and recheck pulse every two minutes 6. If no pulse, give thirty compressions (Hard and fast @ 100/min with little or no interruptions) and two breaths until AED gets there, ALS arrives, and/or patient starts to move 7. AED/defibrillator gets there 8. Check heart rhythm 9. If shockable, give one shock and resume CPR for five cycles 10. If not shockable, resume CPR for five cycles. Check rhythm every five cycles (Which is about every two minutes?), and continue CPR until ALS arrives or patient starts to move |
