Basic life support algorithms are step-by-step guidelines that help people respond effectively during medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest. These algorithms focus on vital actions such as checking for responsiveness, performing chest compressions, and using an automated external defibrillator to restart the heart.
The primary goal of BLS is to regulate oxygen to the key organs of the body until advanced medical help arrives. Follow the step-by-step approach in the algorithms to improve confidence and effectiveness.

Pediatric BLS Algorithm
The Pediatric BLS algorithm offers high-quality chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute. Start with 30:2 compressions to breaths for a single rescuer or 15:2 for two rescuers.
Adult BLS Algorithm
The Adult BLS algorithm begins with checking responsiveness and calling for help. Start chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute, ensure an open airway, and provide rescue breaths in a 30:2 ratio if trained.
Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR Algorithm
The BLS CPR Algorithm is a simple guide for performing CPR and using an AED during a cardiac arrest. It recognizes the emergency, giving chest compressions, rescue breaths, and using a defibrillator early.
BLS C-A-B Algorithm
The BLS (Basic Life Support) CAB algorithm focuses on Circulation, Airway, and Breathing. Start chest compressions immediately for circulation, then check and open the airway, and provide rescue breaths if needed.
Why do you need BLS algorithms?
You should choose BLS algorithms because they provide clear, simple steps to save a life during a cardiac emergency. They guide you to recognize cardiac arrest, help you perform CPR, and use an AED quickly. The steps can double or even triple someone’s chances of survival. They’re easy to learn and designed for anyone to use, even without medical training. Most importantly, they give you the confidence to act fast when every second counts.
