What is BLS CPR?

BLS CPR stands for Basic Life Support Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It refers to the basic level of medical care used to address life-threatening emergencies such as cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, or obstructed airways. BLS CPR techniques include chest compressions, rescue breathing, and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to support or restore circulation and breathing in adults, children, and infants. This training is essential for healthcare providers, first responders, and often required for certain non-medical professionals.
