The Heartsaver CPR AED + Child + Infant course includes all of the above, and:

​BLS (formerly known as Health Care Provider CPR C/AED) is the foundation for saving lives after cardiac arrest. It is designed for healthcare providers and trained first responders who work in a wide variety of settings or those in a healthcare training program. The new Heart & Stroke BLS course is an instructor-led course that teaches both single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for use in both in-facility and pre-hospital settings, with a focus on high-quality CPR and team dynamics.

The BLS course focuses on building knowledge so you are confident and ready to perform high-quality CPR in a wide variety of settings. The course covers:

-Chain of Survival

-1-rescuer / 2-rescuer CPR (adult, child, and infant)

-High-quality chest compressions with a feedback device

-Multi-rescuer team CPR

-Adult, Child and Infant CPR and relief of choking

-Use of an AED

-Effective ventilations using a bag-mask device

This course is aimed at healthcare providers who provide care to patients in a variety of both in-facility and pre-hospital settings or by those that require BLS certification and CPR training to enter into a healthcare related training program (doctors, nurses, medical students, licensed practical nurses, dentists, dental hygienists, naturopaths, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, paramedics, firemen, sports medicine, hospital porters, surgeons, any profession that practices sedation just to name a few occupations, etc.)

Please note: The Heart and Stroke BLS course is the only acceptable pre-requisite course for those going on to the Heart and Stroke ACLS course.
