Basic Life Support (BLS) is essential for all carers, as emergencies can happen at any time. BLS skills include:
- Performing CPR: Knowing how to perform chest compressions and rescue breaths correctly.
- Using an AED: Understanding how to use an Automated External Defibrillator in cases of cardiac arrest.
- Airway management: Ensuring a patient’s airway is clear to allow breathing.
Staying current with BLS training ensures that carers are ready to respond quickly and effectively to save lives in critical situations.
