Basic life support (BLS) is a level of medical care which is used for victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital.
Often basic life support level care includes things outside the scope of a CPR class like oxygen administration, bleeding control, and splinting. Advanced Life Support care refers to more complex and invasive things like intravenous medications, breathing tubes, and cardiac monitoring. In the context of a CPR class, denoting that the class is âBLSâ typically means it is designed for professional rescuers like paramedics, nurses, lifeguards, etc. Most people who just want the knowledge of CPR will be well served by taking a âlay rescuerâ, ânon-professional rescuerâ, or âcommunityâ level class.
