Comprehensive BLS Clinical Suite
Interactive real-time demonstration of high-quality chest compressions, airway management, AED defibrillation, multi-patient protocol modes, choking relief, and clinical self-assessment.
1. Assess Safety & Responsiveness
Ensure scene safety. Tap the patient’s shoulders firmly and shout “Are you okay?” Check for absent breathing or abnormal agonal gasping and simultaneously check carotid pulse for âĪ10 seconds.
2. Activate Emergency (Code Blue)
Immediately shout for local help, activate the hospital Code Blue system, and dispatch a team member to retrieve the Crash Cart along with the Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
3. High-Quality Compressions (C-A-B)
Position heel of hand on lower half of breastbone. Compress at a depth of 5-6 cm (2-2.4 inches) at a rate of 100-120 compressions/min allowing full chest recoil with minimal interruptions.
4. Airway Open & Rescue Breaths
Perform the Head-Tilt Chin-Lift (or Jaw-Thrust in spinal trauma). Deliver 2 rescue breaths with a Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM/Ambu Bag) with 100% O2 over 1 second each, ensuring visible chest rise.
5. Defibrillation & AED Analysis
Attach AED electrode pads (Right Infraclavicular & Left Axillary). Ensure all staff stand clear during rhythm analysis. If shockable (VF/pVT), deliver shock and immediately resume CPR.
Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (Choking Management)
Rapid response algorithm for conscious and unconscious choking victims (Adult & Child vs Infant).
1. Assess Severity
Distinguish between mild (victim can cough/speak) and severe obstruction (universal choking sign, silent cough, cyanosis).
2. Abdominal Thrusts (Heimlich)
Stand behind victim, place fist thumb-side just above navel, and deliver quick, upward abdominal thrusts until object is expelled.
3. Infant Choking (5 Slaps / 5 Thrusts)
Deliver 5 firm back slaps between shoulder blades holding infant prone, followed by 5 quick chest thrusts in supine position.
4. If Victim Becomes Unresponsive
Lower victim to floor, call Code Blue, and begin CPR immediately. Look in mouth for foreign object before each breath (no blind finger sweeps).
