Basic Life Support

Basic Life Support (BLS) refers to the essential emergency medical care provided to individuals experiencing life-threatening conditions such as cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, or airway obstruction. This foundational level of care includes techniques like cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), airway management, and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to help maintain circulation and breathing until advanced medical help arrives. Understanding and being trained in BLS can save lives by stabilizing patients during critical moments.
