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 - To resuscitate a patient in cardiac arrest, it is essential to follow a sequential set of steps that make up the Chain of Survival. It consists of Effective CPR, Early defibrillation, rapidly advanced life support by highly trained healthcare providers. Without these three crucial steps, there can be no successful resuscitation.
3. (CPR) Adult/Child/Infant - You will learn procedures used when performing high quality CPR, depending on a few variables. 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. Hands-Only CPR - Untrained lay rescuers should provide compression-only or Hands-Only CPR (no rescue breathing) for adult cardiac arrest victims, 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.

The BLS certification course and training commences with a brief introduction to basic life support. As per Good Samaritan Law, many states have enacted what's known as a Good Samaritan law, which gives legal protection to anyone who seeks out and attempts to provide aid during an emergency. So, if you witness a car accident or a heart attack and decide to help, don't be afraid that you might get sued for doing so. Your good intentions are protected in these states.

As healthcare providers, it is essential to remember that as real life emergencies happen, the first order of action is to provide essential care techniques learned through the BLS course, call 911 and perform CPR/AED until paramedics arrive.

The BLS test features 25 questions that hold a 1 point value each. Created in multiple choice or true or false variations, you need at least 70% to pass. Students have unlimited tries to pass the exam and for no extra cost. Also, some Healthcare providers have significant experience and knowledge and prefer to review the latest AHA guidelines changes and directly jump to the test to take the certification test.

BLS certificates are valid for two years. After successful completion of the course and the certification exam, you will be able to download the BLS card copy from your course dashboard. An email with your temporary BLS certification is also sent to your email address. We process the physical laminated cards daily and mail them out to the address on your account the same day in most cases.
