About this ebook
This Basic Life Support (BLS) instructor manual teaches both single-rescuer and rescue teams basic life support skills for application in both pre-hospital and in-facility environments, with a focus on high-quality CPR. Our educational training material is created and maintained by practicing physicians, adhering to the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines. These BLS first-aid course techniques are based on the latest 2020-2025 ILCOR Standards and Guidelines, and are organized in systematic steps called the Chain of Survival. This BLS for health care providers lets you know about health care law and ethics.
This handbook will teach you the following keys to Basic Life Support:
• When and how to use an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED).
• How to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, and quickly start the Chain of Survival.
• How to deliver high-quality chest compressions to circulate oxygen to the brain and vital organs.
• How to provide health care management, early use of AED, and rescue breathing.
• Understand how to work with other rescuers as part of a team and how to treat choking.
Approximately every five years, the ILCOR updates the guidelines for CPR and ECC. The content contained herein is based on the most recent ILCOR publications on BLS and will periodically compare previous and revised recommendations for a comprehensive review.
ncluded with this purchase is a unique code that allows you to complete the BLS course on the NHCPS website.

GENERAL CONCEPTS OF BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States and is responsible for over 600,000 deaths every year. Research continues to improve how we respond with life-saving techniques to emergencies. These techniques are based on the most current research and are organized into a systematic response called the Chain of Survival, which begins with Basic Life Support (BLS). The Chain of Survival provides the victim the best chance to receive the care needed and return to a healthy life.
