Some 326,200 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (heart attacks) occur each year in the United States. When they do, each and every minute counts, and everyone, bystander or medical professional, can be trained to help. The American Heart Association (AHA) is one of the largest bodies in the United States that trains and certifies members of the public, EMTs, paramedics, doctors, nurses, etc. how to react in the case of cardiac arrests and other emergencies both inside and outside of healthcare centers. The AHA offers multiple levels of CPR training, for the layperson (with optional additions of First Aid, Child CPR and Infant CPR), for the professional rescuer (“Basic Life Support”) and higher levels for hospital practitioners as well as paramedics (ACLS, PALS, etc.).

Basic Life Support (BLS) is the level-course suggested by the American Heart Association for medical professionals, including but certainly not limited to: EMT, EMT-P, RN, nursing assistant, PA, MD and NP. Medical assistants are also invited to take this class. The course consists of both practical and written sections.
