BLS Course 
Critical Care Education provides American Heart Association Basic Life Support- BLS courses in the cities and areas surrounding Fontana, California.
Basic Life Support, or BLS, generally refers to the type of care that first-responders, healthcare providers and public safety professionals provide to anyone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory distress or an obstructed airway. It requires knowledge and skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using automated external defibrillators (AED) and relieving airway obstructions in patients of every age. The American Heart Association BLS course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED. Reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).
This is a CPR class for those who work in a hospital or clinic
 COVERS
Start compressions within 10 seconds
Push hard and fast – Compress at a rate of 100 – 120 compressions a minute. Compress at a depth of at least 2 inches for an Adult. Compress at a depth of one third the depth of the chest, about 2 inches for a child. Compress at a depth of one third the depth of the chest, about 1 ½ inches for an infant
Allow complete chest recoil after each compression
Minimize interruptions in compressions to less than 10 seconds
Give effective breaths that make the chest rise
Avoid excessive ventilation
Recognition – Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activating the emergency response system
CPR – Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compression
Defibrillation – Rapid defibrillation with an AED
Advanced Care – Effective advanced life support is typically performed by advanced licensed rescuers and includes administration of medications
Post-Cardiac Arrest Care
An adult’s age is defined at adolescents (after the onset of puberty) and older. If you are by yourself the compression to ventilation ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breathes. If you are a part of a team of 2 or more rescuers the compression to ventilation ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breathes.
A child is defined as 1 year of age to puberty. If you are by yourself the compression to ventilation ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breathes. If you are a part of a team of 2 or more rescuers the compression to ventilation ratio is 15 compressions to 2 breathes.
An infant is defined as less than 1 year of age. If you are by yourself the compression to ventilation ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breathes. If you are a part of a team of 2 or more rescuers the compression to ventilation ratio is 15 compressions to 2 breathes.
An automated External Defibrillator is a light weight, portable, electronic device that can identify an abnormal heart rhythm that needs to be shocked. The AED then delivers an electric shock that can stop the abnormal heart rhythm
If an adult or child has the inability to speak or breath or shows signs of cyanosis (turning blue) they may be choking. In an adult or child, you will perform abdominal thrusts to relieve choking
If an infant has the inability to cry or cough or shows signs of cyanosis (turning blue) they may be choking. In an infant, you will perform 5 back slaps followed by 5 chest thrusts to relieve choking
