AHA - Basic Life Support (HeartCode BLS) - Conroe

HeartCode® BLS (Basic Life Support) is an American Heart Association (AHA) training program that provides a convenient and flexible way to learn the essential skills of adult and pediatric CPR, AED usage, and choking relief. It is designed for healthcare professionals and individuals seeking certification in basic life support.

Here are the key features and components of HeartCode® BLS:

1. Self-paced Learning: HeartCode® BLS is a course that allows learners to study at their own pace and convenience. It includes interactive modules, videos, and simulations that cover the necessary knowledge and skills required for basic life support.

2. Realistic Scenarios: The program incorporates realistic case scenarios to simulate emergency situations, enabling learners to practice decision-making and hands-on skills in a virtual environment.

3. Cognitive Learning: The modules provide comprehensive information on the AHA's latest guidelines and protocols for BLS. Learners will understand the importance of high-quality CPR, the steps for using an AED, and the correct techniques for providing care to adults, children, and infants.

4. Skills Practice and Testing: Following the completion of the modules, learners are required to attend an in-person skills session or arrange a skills evaluation with an AHA BLS instructor. During this session, learners practice their skills on manikins and demonstrate competency in CPR and AED usage.

5. Certification: Successful completion of both the modules and the skills session leads to AHA BLS Provider certification. Learners receive an AHA BLS Provider eCard, which is recognized as proof of BLS training and is valid for two years.

HeartCode® BLS is an effective and convenient option for healthcare professionals and individuals who need to obtain or renew their BLS certification. By combining online learning with hands-on skills practice, this program ensures that learners gain the necessary knowledge and confidence to respond effectively in emergency situations, potentially saving lives.
