Three things which have to be checked by a person who is performing BLS include:
- Airway – To ensure that the patient can breathe and is not blocked by foreign objects, vomit or sputum.
- Circulation – To know that heart rate is normal and blood is being pumped to the organs. Sometimes chest compression is done to make sure that the blood is pumped properly in the body.
- Breathing – To check that the patient is getting oxygen to the lungs and the body.
Assessment is necessary and important during any medical emergency. It will determine whether BLS needs to be done or not. If you see anyone in an emergency situation and do not know BLS then immediately call for assistance. If you have completed training then after assessment carries out the procedure appropriately. CPR or the Heimlich maneuver has to be conducted or a defibrillator has to be used. All those who have done BLS training will be able to do the procedure properly without any help. A quick inspection of the area should be done to make sure that the place is free of any danger. Professional help should also be called for to ensure that the appropriate medical care is administered.
Once you confirm that a person requires a medical emergency then you have to act immediately. You should also understand that each situation will not be similar and will be different. When someone does not speak or is showing the signs of trouble in breathing then the person can be in a dangerous situation.
