The 6 links in the adult out-of-hospital Chain of Survival are:
1-Recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system
2-Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with an emphasis on chest compressions
3-Rapid defibrillation
4-Advanced resuscitation by Emergency Medical Services and other healthcare providers
5-Post-cardiac arrest care
6-Recovery (including additional treatment, observation, rehabilitation, and psychological support)
A strong Chain of Survival can improve chances of survival and recovery for victims of cardiac arrest.
