Basic Life Support (BLS) is the practice performed to ensure oxygenation of the lungs and pumping of blood from the heart without medication or medical intervention in a person whose breathing and/or heart has stopped (Tiryaki and DoÄŸu, 2018). In the vast majority of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases, the chance of survival is very low. Therefore, early, accurate and effective first aid application is vital (Shahrakivahed et al. 2015). The low survival rates after cardiac arrest indicate that basic life support skills still need to be developed and proficiency maintained during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (Everett-Thomas et al. 2016).
