Basic Life Support (BLS) for Adults
Please purchase the course before starting the lesson.
Multitasking is one of the most prominent features of BLS for adults. Old recommendations would indicate that one-rescuer CPR was the highlighted method in BLS. However, real-life situations illustrate that there are often many individuals present at a cardiac event. A group is expected to multitask by executing CPR techniques such as chest compressions, airway management, resuscitation, and AED usage, all of which should be carried out as a team. A collective effort toward rescuing results in a faster response time, which means less damage to the brain and heart.
