Learning Activity Description:
The Basic Life Support (BLS) course which is accredited by the American Heart Association, provides healthcare practitioners with essential knowledge and hands-on skills required to respond promptly and effectively in life-threatening emergencies. Aligned with internationally recognized guidelines, this in-person training emphasizes the early recognition of cardiac arrest, high-quality chest compressions, effective ventilation, and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). The course is interactive, simulation-based, and tailored to reflect the real-world clinical environment of healthcare providers. Participants will engage in team-based scenarios and practice life-saving techniques in a supportive, supervised setting.

Learning Activity Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the critical importance of early recognition and intervention in cardiac arrest and life-threatening emergencies.
2. Demonstrate high-quality chest compressions and appropriate ventilation techniques on adult, child, and infant mannequins.
3. Apply the correct sequence of actions using the BLS algorithm (CAB: Compressions, Airway, Breathing).
4. Safely and effectively use an automated external defibrillator (AED).
5. Integrate effective team communication and role assignment during resuscitation efforts.
6. Perform relief of foreign-body airway obstruction in responsive and unresponsive individuals.
Learning Outcome:
- After successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Identify signs of sudden cardiac arrest and initiate prompt BLS interventions.
- Perform CPR on adults, children, and infants according to latest guideline standards.
- Operate an AED and follow safety protocols during its use.
- Manage airway obstruction scenarios with appropriate techniques for all age groups.
- Work collaboratively in team-based resuscitation scenarios with clear communication and role execution.
- Exhibit increased confidence and competence in emergency response within clinical settings.
