Description
The AHA’s BLS Course is designed for healthcare professionals and other personnel who need to know how to perform CPR and other basic cardiovascular life support skills in a wide variety of in-facility and prehospital settings.
The BLS certification course and training commences with a brief introduction of what basic life support entails. It also provides insight on the legal protections in place for each state in regards to rescuers who provide medical assistance to unknown parties.
Per the Good Samaritan Law, for example, health experts who administer medical techniques, such as CPR or AED to save lives are usually protected against negative legal proceedings when no compensation is expected. This is a clear example of the value of studying a standard BLS course, even if you’re not required to. The course provides profound instruction for medical workers that often use BLS on the field in the real world.
The AHA offers options for how you can purchase BLS. You can take a full classroom course, take a blended learning course. I have flexible and various training options for your team to consider and am available to answer any further questions you may have and can be reached by telephone at (513) 549-1846.
