BLS Renewal Class September 15th at TCO Crosstown Surgery Center
BLS is a comprehensive course that focuses on teaching participants the fundamental life-saving skills to help people experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest or an airway obstruction. After completing this course, participants will have the knowledge and feel confident in their abilities to perform lifesaving skills.
This course includes:
- The AHA Chain of Survival
- High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants
- Important early use of an AED
- Effective ventilations using a barrier device
- Importance of teams in multi-rescuer resuscitation and performance as an effective team member during multi-rescuer CPR
- Relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (choking) for adults, children, and infants
Participants who have never taken BLS should take the initial class. During the initial class, AHA videos will be shown and each section will require the participants to practice hands-on skills. The initial course is more comprehensive, providing a more in-depth exploration of material, techniques and practices, making the approach and duration longer than the renewal classes.
During the renewal classes participants will review the material in a PowerPoint presentation, AHA videos, and practice their cognitive and psychomotor skills through small-group case scenarios.
