CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
 
0 I like that phrase. The  American Heart Association  started that to describe the way things should work in an emergency, and it kind of really fits the EMS system. There are many different parts that need to work together. And unless they all work well, the system doesn't work as well as it should.
    Now let's examine the links of the chain:
Recognition
Activation
Dispatch
Basic Life Support
Advanced Life Support
Emergency Department
Hospital Staff
