<P> The chain of survival refers to a series of actions that , properly executed , reduce the mortality associated with cardiac arrest . Like any chain , the chain of survival is only as strong as its weakest link . The four interdependent links in the chain of survival are early access , early CPR , early defibrillation , and early advanced cardiac life support </P>
the correct order of the emergency chain of survival is
early access early CPR early defibrillation early advanced cardiac life support
