The Basic Cardiopulmonary Life Support (BCLS) guideline provides a step-by-step approach for trained medics and paramedics to manage adult victims of cardiopulmonary arrest outside of hospitals. Developed for universal use in India, it considers the country’s infrastructure limitations and draws from international and national evidence. The guideline prioritizes early recognition, high-quality CPR, prompt defibrillation, and quick transfer to medical care. It emphasizes quality checks throughout the resuscitation process.
