What are the Components of the BLS Certification Course?

Our online BLS course offers in-depth guidance on CPR execution, AED utilization, and managing situations where effective chest inflation is challenging. There are a total of 16 modules, including:

1. New changes recommended in AHA official guidelines - This module covers the changes to CPR/AED and First Aid protocols since the last guidelines were published. For example, for a rescuer to give high-quality CPR, they should focus on the required rate and depth of chest compressions. Locate the center of the chest and push hard enough to achieve the recommended depth. For adults, using the heels of your hand with fingers interlocked while children and infants require less pressure, as we will see later.
2. Chain of Survival - For successful resuscitation, it is crucial to adhere to the sequential steps known as the Chain of Survival. It consists of effective, high-quality CPR, early defibrillation, and advanced life support by highly trained medical professionals and healthcare providers. Without these three crucial steps, there can be no successful resuscitation.
3. CPR for Adult/Child/Infant - The course explains the varied CPR methods tailored for adults, children, and infants. Infant CPR is used with victims under the age of one. Child CPR is used with victims between the ages of one and the onset of puberty. Adult CPR is used on victims post-pubescent and older. The victim's age and the number of rescuers are the essential variables when staging rescue protocols for single rescuers vs. two rescuers.‍
4. Emphasis on Hands-Only CPR - For those untrained, the course recommends compression-only CPR for adults in cardiac distress, with or without dispatcher guidance. The rescuer should continue compression-only CPR until the arrival of an AED or rescuers with additional training. Hands-only CPR can be enough to sustain an adult in certain situations until help arrives.‍
5. AED - Dive into the workings of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Understand its role in gauging a victim's heart's electrical activity and its application in delivering timely shocks, especially for adults and specific pediatric groups with pacemakers‍
6. Addressing Choking - Grasp the signs of choking and the appropriate interventions for conscious and unconscious adults, children, and infants. The Heimlich maneuver as an effective technique for children and adults, supported by video demos of this technique, is available as part of the curriculum. In addition, skill-building exercises are available to test your knowledge about severe airway obstruction vs. mild airway obstruction
7. ‍First Aid Essentials - Navigate through the primary response steps and treatments for prevalent injuries, encompassing nosebleeds, lacerations, burns, and bone fractures.
8. Managing Bleeding - Master techniques to halt bleeding and safeguard wounds against potential infections. Bleeding control for special situations like a head wound, nose bleed, and use of a tourniquet to control bleeding when other methods fail
9. Understanding Shock - Delve into the various causes of shock, from significant blood loss to allergic reactions. Recognize the symptoms and discern the optimal treatments for diverse shock types, including the life-threatening Anaphylactic Shock.‍
10. Burns Management - Delve into the categorization of burns, spanning from thermal to chemical, electrical, and radiation origins, each escalating in severity.
11. ‍Poisoning - Unpack the various poisoning routes, including ingestion, inhalation, injection, and skin absorption. This module elucidates treatments tailored to the poison type and its entry method.
12. ‍Injuries Insights- Explore diverse injury types, their symptoms, and the renowned RICE methodology for wound care.‍
13. Broken Bones/Fracture -Understand the nuances of bone injuries, from fractures to dislocations. Gain insights into identifying the nature of the break, its severity, and immediate care strategies.‍
14. Seizures and Strokes - Decode the sudden ailments like seizures, strokes, and allergic reactions. Learn to distinguish between them and discern the most effective treatments.
15. ‍Emergency Oxygen Administration - Recognition of medical situations calls for emergency oxygen for effective ventilation, symptoms of hypoxia, best treatment mechanisms, and oxygen concentrations for adult, child, and infant patients. The setting of flow meter, fixed flow systems, and tips for safe oxygen administration.‍
16. BLS Test - The last section will test your knowledge gained through the 16 modules. This certification training aims to give you the confidence to deal with real-life emergencies as a healthcare worker. We recommend reviewing all modules to understand how to apply the BLS knowledge to different scenarios.

BLS Certification renewal

BLS certification renewal is necessary to maintain your knowledge and skills. The renewal process may vary depending on the training center, but typically, certifications need to be renewed every 2 years.

For those looking to renew their BLS certification, you need to have a current BLS certification, which can be in the form of online courses or in-person. Then you must enroll in a BLS certification renewal course, which requires passing a renewal exam.

It is important to note that you should renew your certification before it expires, as some workplaces may require a valid certification to work. Additionally, keeping up-to-date with basic life support skills can help individuals provide better care in emergencies.
