When it comes to CPR and resuscitation, Chain of Survival refers to the chain of events that maximise the chances of survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
This video by the medical team at Ospreys Rugby shows a demonstration of the chain of survival steps in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In this situation it is particularly useful when carrying out resuscitation on the field of play.
It is worth noting that this video is for guidance, it is advised that you only attempt CPR or resuscitation if you have had training and that you call the emergency services immediately if someone goes into cardiac arrest.
This video is part of our #AreYouReady 2024 campaign which aims at getting clubs and physios thinking of their sports first aid needs ahead of time by bringing you handy hints and tips for sports first aid essentials.
