BLS stands for Basic Life Support. It is a training program that teaches participants how to recognize and respond to life-threatening emergencies, including cardiac arrest and respiratory emergencies.
BLS training covers CPR for adults, children, and infants; automated external defibrillator (AED) use; relief of choking; rescue breathing; and coordinated responses involving multiple rescuers.
BLS certification is commonly required for healthcare professionals, including nurses, physicians, dental professionals, EMTs, and other patient-care providers. It may also be relevant to individuals working in education, childcare, fitness, and other settings where emergency response skills are important.
An AHA BLS Provider eCard is generally valid for two years. Check your employer’s or training program’s requirements to determine when you should renew.
