CPR, BLS & Cardiac Emergencies
This module is all about cardio-pulmonary resuscitation - CPR and AEDs, and basic life support (BLS). It's based on the guidelines issued by the UK Resuscitation Council and the UK National Health Service.
In addition to CPR and BLS, we also cover some of the common heart problems that can lead to cardiac arrest, and provide plenty of practical management advice.
The module covers cardiac emergencies in greater depth than our Medical Emergencies module, so if you are after greater understanding, this is for you.
