BLS CPR/AED Level C

(Equivalent replacement to the course formerly known as the BLS for Healthcare Providers)
Basic Life Support (BLS) is the foundation for saving lives after cardiac arrest. It is designed for healthcare providers and trained first responders who provide care to patients in a wide variety of settings and teaches both single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for application in pre-hospital and in-facility settings.
The new BLS provider course is equivalent to the BLS for Healthcare Providers (BLS HCP) course it replaces. This course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations, and provide early use of an AED. It includes adult, child and infant rescue techniques. The BLS course includes realistic scenarios, simulations and state-of-the-art animations, and incorporates Heart and Strokes Foundation’s proven Practice-while-Watching video format to bring the science of the 2015 Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC to the front line practitioner.
Target Audience: This course is designed for healthcare providers and trained first responders who provide care to patients in a wide variety of both in-facility and prehospital settings or by those that require BLS certification and CPR training to enter into a healthcare related training program
