AHA BLS (Basic Life Support)

AHA Basic Life Support (BLS) is a set of emergency techniques taught by the American Heart Association to help anyone respond effectively to cardiac emergencies. BLS includes recognizing cardiac arrest, calling for emergency help, performing high-quality chest compressions, and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) if available. It emphasizes maintaining blood flow to vital organs until professional help arrives. BLS training is essential for both healthcare providers and the general public to increase survival rates for individuals experiencing sudden cardiac events. Knowing BLS can make a difference in saving a life during critical moments.
