View Combo CourseWhat is BLS?
Basic Life Support (BLS) is a set of emergency procedures used to sustain life in situations like cardiac arrest or respiratory failure until advanced medical help arrives. It involves prompt recognition of cardiac arrest or respiratory failure, providing high-quality chest compressions to circulate blood, ensuring an open airway through techniques like head-tilt and chin-lift, and, if trained, giving rescue breaths. In some cases, an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is used to shock the heart back into rhythm.
BLS training offers several advantages, both personally and professionally. Some benefits of learning BLS in Hawaii are as follows:
- Provides the ability to save someone’s life in an emergency
- Enhances job and career opportunities
- Improves emergency response and patient outcomes
- Increases confidence and calmness in emergencies
- Improves Teamwork and communication
- Increases workplace safety
