Basic life support is critical for recognizing cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, choking, and other time-sensitive emergencies. In healthcare and workplace settings, delayed response, poor assessment, weak communication, or incorrect emergency activation can affect patient safety and emergency outcomes.
The Basic Life Support (BLS) course covers patient assessment, cardiac arrest recognition, high-performance CPR, pediatric and infant resuscitation, airway management, AED use, team-based response, complex emergencies, Canadian legal responsibilities, EMS systems, and guideline implementation.
Learners will understand key resuscitation concepts, emergency response roles, communication principles, documentation responsibilities, and quality improvement considerations in BLS practice. Certification is provided upon successful completion of the course.
