What This Book Is About

The Basic Life Support Made Easy Book is a comprehensive and practical guide to Basic Life Support (BLS) for adults and children, designed for use in training and as a reliable reference in emergency situations. It provides clear, step-by-step guidance on recognising life-threatening conditions and delivering effective Basic Life Support, aligned with 2025 Resuscitation Council UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines.

Who Wrote It & Who It’s For

This book is written by Nigel Barraclough, founder of Qualsafe, an experienced paramedic, and the UK’s leading first aid author. It is suitable for adult first aiders, paediatric first aiders, healthcare and clinical staff, and anyone required to deliver or refresh Basic Life Support skills. It is an ideal accompaniment to CPR, Basic Life Support, and annual refresher training courses, as well as clinical and care-based training.

What This Book Covers

  • Basic Life Support (BLS) principles
  • Chain of Survival and BLS flow charts
  • CPR for adults, children, and infants
  • Automated External Defibrillation (AED) for adults and children/babies
  • Compression-only CPR
  • Regurgitation during CPR
  • Choking (adult, child, and baby)
  • Anaphylaxis
  • Levels of response and unconscious casualty management
  • Recovery position
  • Level of response ACVPU scoring
  • Post-traumatic stress and responder wellbeing
  • Also includes appendices (clearly marked for trained responders only) covering:
  • Hypoxia and pulse oximetry
  • Emergency oxygen therapy
  • British Thoracic Society compliant oxygen therapy flow chart

The inclusion of detailed flow charts and visual guidance make this book a valuable reference for both training and real-world application of both BLS and emergency oxygen therapy training.

Compliance & 2025 Updates
