| | Basic life support - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Basic life support (BLS) is a specific level of prehospital medical care provided by trained responders, including emergency medical technicians, in the absence of advanced medical care. | | | Basic Life Support consists of a number of life-saving techniques which are focused on the "ABC"s of prehospital emergency care: | | | BLS generally does not include the use of drugs or invasive skills, and can be contrasted with the provision of Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). |

| | Life - encyclopedia article about Life. |
| | A useful characteristic upon which to base a definition of life is that of descent with modification: the ability of a life form to produce offspring that are like its parent or parents, but with the possibility of some variation due to chance. | | | Also, loosely speaking, some theories are grounded in the basic assumption that "ideas have a life of their own". | | | Origin of life focuses on modern scientific research on the origin of life. |

| | Breathing present: if an unconscious person is breathing, turn person on his or her side and hold person's chin up to prevent tongue from falling back and obstructing the airway again and also to allow blood or secretions to drain from mouth. | | | The ultimate goal is to bring the person back to life again, if person's heart is fibrillating only the paramedics can save him or her. | | | assess person's responsiveness by tapping on his or her shoulder and asking "Hello, can you hear me ?" or " What's your name?" If person responds, treat his or her basic needs, such as compression on a nose bleed, to keep person comfortable till help arrives. |

| | Basic life support skills were taught and tested within their curriculum, however, they had not previously used a CD-ROM for delivery and had had no input to the development of the BLS CD-ROM. | | | Basic life support is also an important skill for many health-care professionals and the BLS CD-ROM can facilitate interprofessional teaching and learning (DoH 2000, UKCC 1999) in a variety of settings, such as skill laboratories, clinical practice settings and the users’ own home. | | | Basic life support is an essential skill for nurses, as they are often first responders to the collapsed person. |

| | This set of connections is sometimes referred to as the "reptilian brain" or "R-complex" and is thought to represent a neural circuit necessary for the mediation of basic functions such as predation and mating as well as the affective concomitants associated with social behaviors ranging from cooperation to aggression. | | | In the study of mammals, we speak of the regulation of emotion by components of the reptilian brain. | | | In some ways amphibians are intermediate between the fully aquatic fishes and the terrestrial amniotes (reptiles, birds, and mammals), but they are not simply transitional in their morphology, life history, ecology, and behavior. |
