Basic Life Support (BLS)

This Basic Life Support (BLS) course outlines the international basic life support guidelines, based on the latest 2020-2025 ILCOR recommendations, and compares them to the 2015-2020 version. We explore the details and categories that changed in delivering BLS and CPR to people of all ages and break down these life-saving techniques into easy steps.

We then discuss what to do once you arrive at the scene, alone or as part of a group. We show you how to check for responsiveness, use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and open the patient’s airways if they’re struggling to breathe. We also take you through mouth-to-mouth and mouth-to-mask ventilation.
