All emergency responders require specialized training that can help them save lives. Basic Life Support is a foundational program that trains professionals the proper response for respiratory or cardiac emergencies involving infants, children, and adults. Individuals have many options for blended online and classroom training BLS certification courses taught by qualified instructors.
Emergency rescue workers can now participate in a Basic Life Support program designed especially for them by the American Heart Association. This program addresses the needs of Prehospital Providers (PHP) specifically with blended online and classroom lessons for flexible scheduling. The course is intended for anyone who might be in a position to respond to an accident or emergency in locations outside a hospital setting.
The course covers specific rescue techniques and the differences between responding to an adult, an infant, or a child. Students learn how to help a choking victim, proper bag-mask breathing assistance, and how to perform Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation alone and with other rescue workers. Lessons cover the proper technique for using an Automated External Defibrillator, a device used to stabilize heart rhythm after a heart attack.
Members of elite rescue squads learn about ways to coordinate responses to ensure victims have a better chance of survival. Course designers have included common scenarios these care providers face every day in the field. All scenes for hands-on training and practice sessions deal with real-life situations, including structure fires, automobile crashes, and other accidents.
Online learning allows students to complete the course at their own pace. Students may log into the system as many times as necessary to cover the course material. Most individuals who are already familiar with the content and who are comfortable using a computer can finish the online portion in 30-90 minutes. Students must complete the online exam in a single sitting.
A score of 84% or better on the online exam is necessary to move to the program's second phase. All students who score the minimum required on the online test gain access to the classroom section of the program. This is where students will interact with other participants and a qualified instructor. The classroom portion consists of debriefings, hands-on practical experience, and group discussions.
Each instructor is responsible for six students and every student has access to a manikin for hands-on experience. Students new to the material may need three hours to complete the classroom lessons. During that time, they have access to optional lesson modules and remediation. Students can complete the classroom course in less than two-and-a-half hours if they do not need to take advantage of the optional modules.
To receive a card of completion, students must demonstrate skills learned in the course. These tests are completed with the use of a manikin and involve demonstrating rescue techniques for adults and children. Certification is valid for 24 months.
This BLS training program specifically addresses the needs of public servants, emergency medical technicians, sports coaches, and other individuals who may serve as first responders to an accident. Participants learn how to perform chest compressions and bag-mask ventilation, including the proper techniques for people in all age groups. The course covers all the skills first responders need to improve survival rate in any emergency.
