-To increase survival after cardiac arrest it is vital to decrease the time to resuscitation. The training of persons in BLS can increase bystander participation in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). When non-arrest victims inadvertently recieve CPR it is extremely rare to inflict serious harm (2% suffered a fracture). Furthermore the risk of disease transmission is extremly low, especcialy without high-risk activities as intravenous canulation. A straightforward protocol has been created to execute BLS. The following steps can be followed to perform BLS.<cite>Koster2</cite>
