Basic Life Support (BLS) keeps patients alive until full medical care can be administered. EMTs, paramedics, and emergency nurses are trained in the latest BLS techniques, and other healthcare professionals can benefit from similar BLS healthcare training<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, ensures that oxygenated blood continues to flow around the body. CPR does not restart the heart, but it will keep a person alive until emergency medical treatment can be provided. During training, you will learn when to administer CPR<\/a>, and when another basic life support technique is the better option. You will learn how to administer chest compressions and rescue breaths.<\/p>\n In order to restart the heart, it is necessary to use a defibrillator, or Automated External Defibrillator (AED). An AED gives the patient\u2019s heart an electric shock that essentially aims to kick start the heart. Using an AED incorrectly, or at the incorrect time, not only puts the patient in danger but you and anybody else at the scene. AED training ensures that you know when and how to use the defibrillator safely and to achieve the best possible results.<\/p>\n When airways are obstructed, it poses a serious risk to the patient\u2019s life. Clearing the airway, and then ensuring that the patient is able to breathe is considered a part of basic life support, and you will receive training on how to identify breathing obstructions, how to dislodge any choking risk, and how to ensure that the patient has the best chance of survival while awaiting emergency medical attention.<\/p>\nCPR<\/h2>\n
