Be a Life Saver- Learn Basic Life Support | Certification in BLS

B asic Life Support is also known as BLS , is used in the medical field to distinguish the types of medical care necessary to sustain someone's life until they can receive more detailed care. These skills are most often utilized by EMTs, paramedics, triage nurses, and anyone who has received BLS training .

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and its Importance
