What is BLS?

BLS is a type of care that healthcare providers, first-responders, and public safety professionals give. This care is provided in cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, or an obstructed airway situation. These individuals need additional information on CPR, using automated external defibrillators (AED), and relieving airway obstructions. These individuals can help anyone at any age.

The American Red Cross offers resources that help in the understanding of BLS nursing. To become certified, an individual has to be physically capable and possess great problem-solving and mental skills. These individuals are usually on-scene first and have to offer aid as quickly as possible. It’s important that they know what to do until help can arrive.
