Which of the following is NOT a part of the chain of survival?

The chain of survival is a sequence of time-critical actions to restore circulation and breathing after a collapse. It starts with recognizing the event and calling for help, then starting CPR to keep blood flowing, and delivering defibrillation as soon as possible for shockable rhythms. Providing oxygen in hospital, while important for overall care, isn’t a distinct link in this immediate sequence; oxygen therapy is part of broader post-arrest or inpatient management rather than one of the rapid, early steps that define the chain.
