Basic Life Support: CPR & First Aid
The DAN Basic Life Support (BLS): CPR and First Aid provider program is designed to provide course participants with foundational knowledge and teach skills needed to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other lifesaving skills.
During this course, participants will become familiar with the signs and symptoms associated with cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack as well as with other diseases and conditions that may also pose an immediate threat to life. Those conditions-such as shock, choking and external bleeding-are included in this course.
The first-aid component of this course addresses additional circumstances and diseases that may require intervention and assistance from emergency medical services (EMS).
Successful completion of the DAN BLS: CPR and First Aid course includes demonstration of skill competency and passing a knowledge assessment. Upon completion, you will receive a provider card indicating that you have been trained in basic life support (including CPR) and first-aid measures.
