Description
Basic Life Support (BLS) is a critical, life-saving intervention that focuses on the early recognition and management of cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, and choking. This CME aims to equip healthcare workers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to promptly initiate high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use an automated external defibrillator (AED), and manage airway obstruction in both adult and pediatric patients. The session emphasizes hands-on practice, adherence to current resuscitation guidelines, and effective team response in emergency situations within the healthcare setting.
