Basic Life Support, or BLS, generally refers to the type of care that first-responders, healthcare providers and public safety professionals provide to anyone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory distress or an obstructed airway.
It requires knowledge and skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using automated external defibrillators (AED) and relieving airway obstructions in patients of every age.
In addition to the physical skills necessary for providing BLS care to those in need, those working in basic life support also need to have critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, and be able to work as part of a team to deliver the best care possible and improve patient outcomes.
Content in this program is consistent with: The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) 2015–2018 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science with Treatment Recommendations.
The 2015–2018 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.

BLS is the foundation of all resuscitation training.
BLS is the first level of care for someone in cardiac arrest.
During this course, certified ERC instructors guide you through both CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and the safe use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
The training is interactive and hands-on, focusing on essential life-saving actions that anyone can perform.
If no AED is available, you will learn how to deliver effective BLS while waiting for professional help.
Competence in BLS is required before moving on to advanced ERC courses.

The Chain of Survival provides the victim the best chance to receive the care needed and return to a healthy life.
The actions that make up BLS try to prevent or slow the damage until the cause of the problem can be corrected.
BLS improves a person’s chance of surviving until advanced care becomes available.
Keys for BLS: Quickly start the Chain of Survival.
Deliver high-quality chest compressions to circulate oxygen to the brain and vital organs.
Know when and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
Provide rescue breathing.
Understand how to work with other rescuers as part of a team.
Know how to treat choking.
