HeartCode Basic Life Support Blended Provider course
***This CPR course uses the updated 2020 AHA curriculum***
HeartCode BLS uses various eLearning assets, such as dramatizations, simulations, animations, self-directed learning, and interactive activities, to teach students BLS knowledge and skills. With AHA Blended Learning, the skills practice and skills test are taken together during a Hands-on Skills Session after the student completes the eLearning portion online.
This course includes psychomotor skills, such as CPR for Adults and pediatric victims. Students must complete an in-person skills practice and testing session to obtain an AHA course completion card.
Course highlights the importance of:
- High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants
- The AHA Chain of Survival, specifically the BLS components
- Important early use of an AED
- Effective ventilations using a barrier device
- Importance of teams in multi-rescuer resuscitation and performance as an influential team member during multi-rescuer CPR
- Relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (choking) for adults and infants
- Basic life support skills, including effective chest compressions, use of a bag-mask device, and use of an AED
- Recognition and early management of respiratory and cardiac arrest
- Effective communication as a member and leader of a resuscitation team
