What would you define life saving care as?

For me personally it was four hours CPR after I'd spent 3 months in a coma in ICU.

As a teenager it was a friend skipping class so I wasn't alone when I was suicidal.


There's no one "right" answer. My life has been saved more times than I can count by more people than realise I'm in their debt.

Care that saves your life… trams care, blows to the head, internal bleeding, CPR and AED care. For medical.
Eliminating threats from a person that is harming the public (i. e. active shooter, bomb threats, etc..) for police.
Chemical fires, wild fires, car accidents with entrapment, falling off a cliff, getting lost in the wilderness, for fire rescue.

Medical care that keeps you alive and makes it so your life isn't ruined.

Medical care that saves one lives? I mean what else could it be defined as? medical care that don't save one's lives that don't make sense lol.

Well as the definition is life saving I think context varies a bit.

CPR and pressure on wounds is one.

However I would say in terms of a medical facilities it would be more appropriate to say the care/treatment provided which would prevent your death within the next 24 hours. The time frame I'm not sure on really.

Wether it ruins your life or not I don't believe applies to this really.

something like CPR or applying a tourniquet.

[Sparkie460]

Any care that would keep a person alive. It could be cpr, covering a bad wound or doing the heimlich maneuver

[loveslongnails]

Whatever it takes to save a life, and to continue bringing it to a healthy, self-sustaining state.

[shortster]

Any treatment that if withheld would lead to the death of the patient.

[msc545]

A situation that requires specific life-saving care to avoid death or disbility

[CubaPirate]

Absolutely even more so if you're not a health professional
