Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers Course Objectives:
The goal of the Basic Life Support Course is to train participants to save the lives of victims in cardiac arrest through high-quality CPR. The American Heart Association designed the BLS Course to teach healthcare professionals how to perform CPR individually or as part of a team. As a result, participants who complete this training will be certified by the American Heart Association® (AHA®) as a BLS (CPR/AED) Provider. An AHA certification eCard will also be provided upon completion.
In this course, participants will learn how to:
- Perform CPR and use an AED for adults, children, and infants
- Relieve choking in adults, children, and infants
- Perform CPR and relieve choking using two-person scenarios
- Use a bag-mask systems for ventilation
- How to relieve foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO)
