Be Prepared with GHCPR's Basic Life Support Class!

---

Basic Life Support (BLS) is the foundation of patient care in emergency medical services. Our American Red Cross BLS course provides healthcare professionals and trained public safety personnel with the essential, hands-on skills to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adult, child, and infant patients.

The American Red Cross BLS curriculum meets the latest CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) guidelines and is trusted by hospitals, EMS agencies, and healthcare facilities nationwide. This course is specifically designed for those who must have a professional-level certification in resuscitation, including medical, fire, and public safety personnel.

This comprehensive, scenario-based training focuses on high-quality CPR and team dynamics. Participants will master skills critical to saving lives:

• High-Quality CPR: Performing chest compressions and ventilations for adults, children, and infants, focusing on proper depth, rate, and minimal interruptions.
• Two-Rescuer CPR and Team Dynamics:  Working effectively as a team, including roles, responsibilities, and effective communication during resuscitation efforts.
• Airway Management: Techniques for using a Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) resuscitator and other advanced airway equipment.
• Obstructed Airway: Identifying and managing choking in conscious and unconscious victims of all ages.
• Automated External Defibrillator (AED): Proper use of an AED, including placement and troubleshooting, in single and multi-rescuer scenarios.
• Special Considerations: Addressing complex situations, including opioid-associated emergencies and cardiac arrest in pregnancy.

Upon successful completion, participants receive a 2-year American Red Cross Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, a widely accepted credential for healthcare providers.
