SFA BLS Provider Renewal
Standard First Aid BLS Renewal Course
Welcome to the Standard First Aid BLS Renewal course.
The Standard First Aid BLS Renewal Course is intended for Healthcare Providers. This course explores Primary and Secondary considerations around the provision of care. High-quality CPR is practiced to achieve the best outcomes for a person in Cardiac Arrest. The importance of the Automated External Defibrillator is discussed and explored as an important intervention in preventing death. Airway, breathing and circulatory challenges are discussed in the context of Shock. This one day Canadian Red Cross course is different from the lay provider Standard First Aid course in that there is a focus on Healthcare Provider (BLS) CPR skills. CPR training includes bag-valve-mask use, pulse checks and the various CPR ratios.
