Basic Life Support and Safe Use of an Automated External Defibrillator DocumentsITC Level 2 Award
ITC has developed a training programme and accredited qualification, following the current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines.
Electrical defibrillation is well established as the effective therapy for cardiac arrest, the most important determinant of survival being the time from collapse to delivery of the first shock.
Today the widespread deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) is considered a realistic strategy for reducing death rates due to heart disease.
What does this qualification cover?
- A brief historical introduction;
- vital signs and basic life support;
- BLS scenarios; chain of survival;
- heart rhythms;
- AED scenarios;
- assessment;
- dealing with aftermath and evaluation.
Who is it suitable for?
No previous experience is necessary, although it would be useful to have had some basic first aid training. This qualification is suitable for anyone wishing to develop their basic life support skills
