BLS (Basic Life Support) Blended Learning
American Heart Association BLS Certification (Blended Learning HeartCode BLS)
The Blended Learning HeartCode BLS class is a hybrid learning course that consists of an online BLS class followed by an in-person BLS Skills Session with an AHA instructor. The Skills Session is a hands-on test and demonstration of the skills the student learned during the online class. Students receive the same American Heart Association “BLS Provider” certification as in the full in-person class. This HeartCode BLS Blended Learning class is appropriate for both initial BLS certification and BLS renewal (BLS update).
The AHA BLS (Basic Life Support) Provider course trains healthcare providers to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations, and provide early use of an AED (automated external defibrillator).
The following topics are covered during the Blended Learning BLS class:
- High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants
- The AHA Chain of Survival, specifically the BLS components
- Use of an AED
- Effective ventilations using a barrier device
- Importance of teams in multirescuer resuscitation and performance as an effective team member during multirescuer CPR
- Relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (choking) for adults/children, and infants
- Special considerations
During the BLS Skills Session, the instructor will review the current AHA guidelines and cardiac arrest algorithms for adult and pediatric patients, then participants will be tested on individual and multi-rescuer cardiac arrest scenarios for adult and pediatric victims.
