In emergency situations, every second counts. The ability to perform Basic Life Support (BLS) can mean the difference between life and death. At Infinity Skills Healthcare, we offer a comprehensive BLS course accredited by the American Heart Association (AHA) or the American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI), designed to equip you with the essential skills needed to respond effectively in critical situations. Whether you are a healthcare professional or a concerned citizen, mastering BLS is a vital skill that can save lives.
What is Basic Life Support (BLS)?
Basic Life Support (BLS) refers to the immediate medical care provided to individuals experiencing life-threatening conditions such as cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, or airway obstruction. BLS techniques include:
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): A combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain circulation and breathing in a person who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating.
- Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use: Proper use of an AED to deliver an electric shock to the heart in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.
- Relief of Choking: Techniques to clear the airway of an individual who is choking, ensuring they can breathe again.
The Importance of BLS Training
- Immediate Response: BLS training prepares individuals to respond quickly and effectively in emergency situations, providing the first line of defense until professional medical help arrives.
- Improved Survival Rates: Effective BLS can significantly improve the survival rates of individuals experiencing cardiac arrest or other life-threatening conditions by maintaining circulation and oxygenation.
- Confidence in Emergencies: Training builds confidence, enabling individuals to act decisively and calmly in emergencies, which is crucial for successful intervention.
