Basic Life Support (BLS) is a level of first-aid resuscitation that can be used in emergency situations until victims are placed into the care of medical professionals. BLS techniques can be used when victims appear to be choking, drowning, unconscious or suffering from cardiac arrest. Knowing the proper steps in providing BLS can be the difference between life and death.
This type of medical training is essential for medical professionals, and is usually required for those with jobs as teachers, daycare providers, social workers and security guards. However, it’s not limited to only these professions. With nearly 50% of heart attack deaths occurring outside of a hospital, it is up to a bystander to know when it’s appropriate to perform BLS, thus making it extremely important that they have knowledge of what skills need to be performed.
Advanced Medical Certification offers courses with certification/recertification for Basic Life Support training. And while it is essential in every medical professionals first aid training to obtain certification in BLS, it benefits everyone to learn.
