What is basic life support?

Basic Life Support, or BLS, refers to the immediate treatment or care performed by first responders and healthcare professionals if a casualty is experiencing cardiac arrest or another life-threatening respiratory emergency.

Treatment generally includes performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) and unblocking obstructed airways.

What is the difference between BLS and other first aid courses? Whilst most first aid courses are aimed at non-medical professionals and provide knowledge of how to respond to a wide range of common injuries, BLS is designed to provide existing first aiders and first responders with the practical skills needed to treat cardiac and respiratory emergencies.
