Basic Life Support (BLS)
Basic Life Support (BLS) is a set of guidelines and procedures for performing CPR and providing emergency care for someone who is in cardiac arrest or unconscious. BLS training covers topics such as performing chest compressions, providing rescue breaths, and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). BLS is designed for healthcare providers and first responders, as well as individuals with little or no medical training. The goal of BLS is to keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and heart until more advanced medical help arrives.
