Course Overview

This comprehensive Basic Life Support (BLS) Training Course provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills required for effective resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care. The course follows the latest guidelines from the Saudi Heart Association (SHA) and American Heart Association (AHA), focusing on high-quality CPR, early defibrillation, and basic airway management techniques vital for improving patient outcomes in cardiac arrest and respiratory emergencies.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Perform high-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants

  • Implement effective bag-mask ventilation techniques

  • Apply appropriate AED usage in various emergency situations

  • Execute proper airway management for respiratory emergencies

  • Identify signs of cardiac arrest, stroke, and choking

  • Perform effective team-based resuscitation

  • Apply the BLS sequence for both single and multi-rescuer scenarios

  • Implement appropriate response to special resuscitation situations

  • Recognize the importance of early activation of emergency response systems

  • Perform post-resuscitation care and handover

Group Exercises

  • Sequence recall including (order verification, critical step identification, and logical progression)

  • Scenario response including (appropriate interventions, priority determination, and decision justification)

  • Technique documentation including (proper procedures, quality elements, and performance standards)

  • Special situation management including (adaptation requirements, modification rationale, and solution development)

  • Post-resuscitation care including (follow-up procedures, monitoring requirements, and transition elements)

Knowledge Assessment

  • BLS sequence recognition including (order verification, step identification, and critical elements)

  • Technique understanding including (proper application, modification reasoning, and quality factors)

  • Problem-solving scenarios including (special situations, complication management, and adaptation requirements)

  • Decision-making evaluation including (priority establishment, intervention selection, and rationale explanation)

  • Protocol application including (guideline adherence, appropriate modifications, and situational adjustments)
