Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere. At home, at work, in a restaurant, on the street. When it does, the most important person in the room is not necessarily the one with the most impressive title. It is the one who knows what to do.
Basic Life Support certification gives you that knowledge. And at Cline Health we make it accessible, practical and directly applicable to real life emergencies.
What Is BLS Certification?
Basic Life Support is a level of medical care used in life threatening situations until the patient can receive full medical care from trained emergency responders. BLS certification is a formal training program that teaches individuals how to recognize and respond to life threatening emergencies including cardiac arrest, respiratory failure and airway obstruction.
BLS training covers:
- High quality CPR for adults, children and infants
- Automated External Defibrillator (AED) operation
- Relief of choking in adults and children
- Rescue breathing techniques
- Team based resuscitation for healthcare providers
- Recognition of cardiac arrest and respiratory emergencies
