Basic life support teaches a person about the initial assessment and resuscitation of a victim in cardiac arrest of all age group (infant, children and adults). This is a 6 hour work-shop which includes.

• Audiovisual  Demos
• Hands on experience on mannequins regarding how to do chest compression, how to take care of airway & how to use defibrillator.
• How  to  deal  with  adult,  pediatric  and  infant  choking victim.
• Use  of  Ambu  bag  as  a  Breathing Aid.
• Use  of  Automated  External  Defibrillator  for  out  of  Hospital  Cardiac  Arrest.
• CPR  as  per  latest  guidelines.
• Lay person  Resuscitation.

Every candidate is assessed at the end using multiple choice questions and performance on skill station for Medical Emergencies and if the candidate adequately demonstrates the required skills, then he is awarded a BCLS certificate from American Heart Association which is endorsed by all International Resuscitation Councils. All the candidates are given books and study material at the time of registration. Any one interested in learning lifesaving skills can register for BLS course. For lay persons, it is preferable to register in a similar group due to ease of learning. We do conduct Lay person CPR on frequent basis.
