BLS for Healthcare Providers CPR Course

The American Heart Association Healthcare Provider Course is designed to teach the skills of CPR for victims of all ages.  Other skills include ventilation with a barrier device, a bag-mask device, use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), and relief of a foreign-body airway obstruction.   It is intended for participants who provide healthcare to patients in a wide variety of settings. Prerequisite: none.  This course is right for you if you are a first time student taking this course or your certification has expired.

 


The Heartsaver CPR Course teaches lay rescuers how to recognize and treat life-threatening emergencies including CPR, and relief of choking with a blocked airway until the arrival of EMS.  The course also teaches how to recognize the signs of heart attack, stroke, cardiac arrest, choking with a blocked airway, and the use of CPR masks.  The course is modular, meaning there are three course options depending upon which modules you choose: Adult/Child, Child/Infant, or Adult/Child/Infant.
