Team Dynamics and Communication in BLS

Working Together Saves Lives

In many emergencies, more than one person is available to help. Effective teamwork and communication are crucial in BLS.

Roles and Responsibilities

  • One person calls emergency services.
  • Another performs chest compressions.
  • A third operates the AED.
  • Others may help with crowd control or fetching equipment.

Clear Communication

  • Use direct, simple language like “You, call 911!” or “Bring the AED!”
  • Confirm instructions with eye contact or a nod.
  • Speak up if something is wrong or unclear.

Practice Makes Perfect

Team BLS drills build confidence, speed, and coordination.

Examples

  • Three classmates split up BLS tasks to help a collapsed teacher.

  • A sports team practices BLS roles during a mock emergency.

In a Nutshell

Good teamwork and clear communication make BLS more effective.
