BLS Hands-On Session
Many things that happen daily have the potential to injure someone seriously or even lead them to stop breathing. As long as you have Basic Life Support (BLS) training, you will know exactly what to do to save a life.
The BLS Skills Session allows you to practice and test the critical hands-on skills for resuscitating unresponsive patients or administering urgent treatment.
At Prime Medical Training, we tailor each curriculum and give students enough time in their BLS classes. Our courses are engaging and productive, and we make sure that no learner is left behind.

Description
What's Covered in This BLS HeartCode Course?
Basic life support skills are far from simple. They are the cornerstones of emergency cardiac treatment. During the BLS HeartCode course, the instructor will help ensure that you are capable of accomplishing the following tasks:
- Chest Compressions
- Bag-mask ventilation
- Pocket-mask ventilations
- Use of the AED (defibrillator)
What To Expect From Your BLS Hands-On Session
Students will be assessed on their Adult and Infant BLS competencies during the BLS hands-on session, although they will have the chance to practice before being tested. In addition, students will take part in a 10-minute High-Performance Team Activity, which is not a test.
What Do I Need To Do To Complete the BLS HeartCode Course?
Students will first attend an American Heart Association (AHA) online course in which they will watch videos, participate in scenarios, and complete a written exam. After that, you'll visit a training Center to practice your Adult and Infant CPR skills and get answers to your questions. Following that, you'll be put to the test on those skills.
BLS HeartCode Tests & Certificates
A BLS certification is required for healthcare professionals. Additionally, if you're interested in pursuing any of those qualifications, you'll certainly need BLS training first. Several licensing authorities and employers require BLS certification. Some non-healthcare workers who are employed in a healthcare facility may also be obliged to take a BLS course.
