The Importance Of Saving Human Life

Saving human life is important particularly in situation of a dying person. Immediate reaction need to be taken in order to increase chance of survival. By learning basic life support, many lives are saved. Basic life support is the lifesaving techniques that concern on the survivor’s airway, breathing and circulation (Clement, 2012). People that are categorized in the list of need of basic life support are the people who experience drowning, electrocutions, suffocations and drug intoxification that eventually lead to cardiac arrest. In addition, basic life support have nine vital process that are check for dangers, responsiveness, scan for breathing, call for help, check for pulse, perform chest compressions, perform open airway, perform rescue breathing and defibrillation (refer to Figure 1 in Appendix 1).
The first process is check for dangers. This process emphasizes on safety of the person who lend the hand for other people and awareness towards surrounding. Alertness toward possible jeopardizes, whether from

The easiest way to open the airway is by performing the head tilt chin lift when there is no other rescuer nearby to assist. Performing head tilt chin lift with one hand is located to forehead and tilts the head back with the palm of the hand. The jaw is lifted by the three fingers of the second hand that are placed under the bony part of the lower jaw near the chin to bring the chin forward. During the head tilt chin lift process, avoid pressing the soft tissues under the chin as a deep press block the airway and also avoid lifting the chin by using the thumb. Besides that, if head or neck injuries are suspected, a jaw thrusts by move the lower jaw forward without tilting the head backward with fingers that is placed at the angles of lower jaw on each side of the head while stabilizing the head (Clement, 2012). However, if the airway still cannot open, tilt the head slightly is necessary to be
