About

CPR – Learn how to perform CPR on infants, children, and adults. Determine the best course of action to take based on underlying circumstances and if and when CPR should be ceased at any given time. The BLS course further discusses the benefits of combining CPR with AED when properly trained rescuers are present and the right equipment is available.

CPR modules – address how team resuscitation differs from single-player CPR scenarios. You will also learn about carrying out chest compressions on different demographics, including pregnant women and obese patients. Students will also learn how to clear the airway, improve circulation, and complete mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing if needed.

AED – Next up on the list of BLS training materials is how and when to use an Automated External Defibrillator or AED. In most cases, this is used after CPR is completed. Students also get a chance to study specific conditions that respond more favorably to AED use, including Ventricular Tachycardia, where a rapid heartbeat is observed. Ventricular Fibrillation is another condition that health care students will learn about during the standard BLS course and training. The AED module furthermore covers additional steps to take for using an automated external defibrillator in special circumstances, such as in cases of trauma, drowning, or electrocution. In cases of Ventricular Fibrillation, it’s essential to get medical intervention as no treatment will result in the loss of blood circulation, and ultimately, the loss of oxygen
