What is BLS?
Basic Life Support, or BLS, is a primary medical care approach provided to patients in a variety of urgent health situations. These situations can range from cardiac arrest to choking incidents and more. BLS techniques can help stabilize individuals until they can receive more comprehensive medical care.
Typically designed for healthcare providers and emergency responders, BLS training at Nursing Detroit encompasses a range of life-saving interventions and techniques. Our course ensures that participants are well-versed with the essentials, from proper chest compressions to rescue breathing, ensuring immediate and effective response in emergencies.
What is CPR?
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, commonly known as CPR, is a life-saving technique employed during emergencies when someone's heartbeat or breathing has stopped. Such situations might arise due to drowning, suffocation, or heart attacks. CPR combines both chest compressions and ventilations (rescue breaths) to maintain the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the brain and vital organs. By learning CPR, you're not just gaining a valuable skill—you're also preparing to potentially be the pivotal difference between life and death for someone in need.
