BLS Fast lane – From Zero To Hero

Course overview

The Basic Life Support (BLS) certification is a training course created to give people the fundamental life-saving abilities they’ll need in an emergency. Healthcare practitioners, first responders, and anyone else who could be required to offer rapid aid to someone having a cardiac arrest or any life-threatening medical crisis should have a strong understanding of BLS.

Since it dramatically increases the likelihood of survival, BLS certification is essential for professionals and anybody who could be in a position to offer prompt assistance during life-threatening circumstances.

Keep in mind that a BLS certification course’s precise style and content may vary slightly depending on the company offering the training, but the fundamental skills and information provided should always be in line with accepted standards and best practices for basic life support.

Introduction

BLS classes frequently feature interactive components and practical exercises that let students put their knowledge to use. The instructors for these courses are certified and up-to-date on BLS procedures and principles. The curriculum adheres to the rules established by groups like the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association (AHA).

The most recent course material and prerequisites must be confirmed with the particular training provider, as rules and procedures may change over time. Healthcare practitioners and others who might need to respond to emergencies in their personal or professional lives should consider getting their BLS certification.

In conclusion, Basic Life Support certification programs give students the knowledge and abilities they need to properly handle life-threatening situations. These programs are crucial for healthcare professionals and beneficial for everyone who wants to be ready to help in an emergency. Choosing a trustworthy training provider is crucial, as is maintaining your certification through routine renewals and skill practice.

Learning Objectives

Upon completing Basic Life Support, participants will be able to:

• Recognize respiratory distress and cardiac arrest symptoms.
• Effectively activate the emergency response system.
• Give adults, children, and newborns high-quality CPR.
• Give the necessary rescue breaths.
• Use an AED effectively and safely.
• Instances of choking in various age groups should be handled.
• CPR methods should be modified for specific groups.
• Utilize effective teamwork when an emergency arises.

Our Unique Training Methodology

This interactive course comprises the following training methods:

• Journaling – This consists of setting a timer and letting your thoughts flow, unedited and unscripted recording events, ideas, and thoughts over a while, related to the topic.
• Social learning – Information and expertise exchanged amongst peers via computer-based technologies and interactive conversations including Blogging, instant messaging, and forums for debate in groups.
• Project-based learning
• Mind mapping and brainstorming – A session will be carried out between participants to uncover unique ideas, thoughts, and opinions having a quality discussion.
• Interactive sessions – The course will use informative lectures to introduce key concepts and theories related to the topic.
• Presentations – Participants will be presented with multimedia tools such as videos and graphics to enhance learning. These will be delivered engagingly and interactively.

Training Medium

This Basic Life Support training is designed in a way that it can be delivered face-to-face and virtually.

Course Duration

This training is versatile in its delivery. The training can be delivered as a full-fledged 40-hour training program or a 15- hours crash course covering 5 hours of content each day over 3 days

Pre-course Assessment

Before you enroll in this course all we wanted to know is your exact mindset and your way of thinking.
For that, we have designed this questionnaire attached below.

• What is Basic Life Support’s (BLS) main objective?
• When performing CPR, what is the proper chest compression rate?
• Which compression depth is suggested when doing CPR on a baby?
• Tell what to do if you come across an adult who is not breathing or not responding.
• Describe the CPR procedure you would use on a youngster (one year old to puberty).
• How many rescue breaths are needed to equal one chest compression when one rescuer is doing CPR on an adult?

Course Modules

This Basic Life Support covers the following topics for understanding the essentials of the Agile Workplace:

Module 1 – Getting started with BLS

• A summary of the significance of basic life support
• Ethical and legal aspects
• The idea of the Chain of Survival
• The distinctions between advanced life support and BLS

Module 2 – Evaluation of the Patient

• Assessing the AVPU scale for responsiveness
• evaluating the pulse and breathing
• Turning on emergency reaction mechanisms
• conducting a brief safety assessment of the area

Module 3 – Adult Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

• Appropriate hand positioning and compression methods
• Depth and rate of compression
• Techniques for ventilation (rescue breaths)
• The proportion of rescue breaths to chest compressions (30:2)
• How to perform CPR until more experienced assistance comes

Module 4 – CPR for Children, Adults, and Infants

• Techniques for compressing the chest in adults, kids, and newborns.
• Breathing methods for emergencies.
• The ideal ratios of ventilation to compression.

Module 5 – Utilizing an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)

• Knowing when to use an AED and why
• AED pad placement done correctly
• administering a shock while adhering to AED instructions
• Giving post-shock CPR

Module 6 – Suffocating Comfort

• Methods for choking both consciously and unconsciously
• Heimlich maneuver: abdominal thrusts for both adults and toddlers
• For newborns, back strikes and chest thrusts
• When and how to deliver abdominal thrusts and back blows

Module 7 – Particular Points to Remember

• BLS for patients with particular requirements and expectant mothers
• How to treat medical issues such as trauma or hypothermia
• Collaborating with emergency services and bystanders

Module 8 – Useful Skills and Practicing Scenarios

• Practical training in adult, child, and neonatal CPR using mannequins.
• Practicing AED use in controlled scenarios
• Playing out different emergency situations
• Comments and method adjustments

Module 9 – Assessment and Accreditation

• Written and hands-on tests to evaluate knowledge and abilities
• Examining the evaluation findings and comments
• The awarding of certifications to accomplished participants

Post-course Assessment

Participants need to complete an assessment post-course completion so our mentors will get to know their understanding of the course. A mentor will also have interrogative conversations with participants and provide valuable feedback.

• What is the ideal pace for performing CPR while performing chest compressions?
• When conducting CPR on an adult, what is the appropriate ratio of compression to breath for a lone rescuer?
• What should you do while using an AED after it has shocked you?
• How should chest compressions be administered to a baby?

Lessons Learned

Collaboration and Communication: BLS courses place a strong emphasis on the value of effective collaboration and communication when responding to cardiac arrest. Participants gain knowledge of their positions within a response team, fostering cooperation and effectiveness.

Special Considerations: BLS training is aware that some people, like pregnant women or people with physical restrictions, may need customized approaches. For you to give the best care, you must know how to modify your response.

Following a successful resuscitation, participants are taught the value of keeping tabs on and attending to the victim. The likelihood of a full recovery is increased and additional complications are avoided during this stage of therapy.

Confidence and Readiness: BLS certification training gives participants the assurance they can react appropriately in an emergency.
