Basic Life Support (CPR) is explained with the use of a mnemonic in this video. First, I talk about the science behind offering basic life support. Brain dies after 2 minutes of brain hypoxia. If we Start CPR before that, We might be able to save a life. The following topics are discussed in the video
1) Involvement of Airway, Breathing & Circulation in the normal brain oxygenation
2) Brain death in hypoxia
3) The reason why brain hypoxia leads to unresponsiveness
4) Steps of Basic Life support
5) "DRS ABC" mnemonic
6) Assessment of Airway, Breathing & Circulation
7) Technique of giving CPR
8) Triple maneuver (Jaw thrust, chin lift & head tilt)
