This course also teaching how to help choking victims. 

These guidelines are used to help people who are experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, or an obstructed airway. Basic life support is a level of medical care which is used for patients with life-threatening condition of cardiac arrest until they can be given full medical care by advanced life support providers.

BLS training reinforces healthcare professionals’ understanding of the importance of early CPR and defibrillation, performing CPR, choking relief, using an AED, and the role of each link in the Chain of Survival. BLS is performed to support the patient's circulation and respiration through the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
