The term Chain of Survival provides a useful metaphor for the elements of the ECC systems concept.
The 5 links in the adult Chain of Survival are:
• Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system.
• Early Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) with an emphasis on chest compression.
• Rapid defibrillation
• Effective advanced life support
• Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
A
strong Chain of Survival can improve chances of survival and recovery
for victims of heart attack, stroke and other emergencies.
