American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) is the foundation of emergency medical care. It is also a requirement for all healthcare professionals. Whether you’re a Registered Nurse (RN), Pharmacist, or any other medical staff member, having BLS certification is critical to ensuring you can effectively respond in life-threatening situations such as cardiac arrest or respiratory failure.

Why Do Healthcare Professionals Need BLS Training?

AHA BLS provides healthcare professionals with the skills needed to perform CPR, use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and manage choking incidents in infants, children, and adults. In fast-paced environments like hospitals, clinics, or nursing homes, being equipped with these life-saving techniques can make the difference between life and death.

BLS training is not only a requirement in many healthcare settings. It also serves as an essential skill for anyone working in patient care.

Which Healthcare Professionals Need BLS Training?

Here’s a list of the healthcare professionals who typically need BLS certification:

Registered Nurses (RN)
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
Paramedics
Doctors and Surgeons
Dentists and Dental Hygienists
Respiratory Therapists
Physical Therapists

The Importance of ACLS and PALS Training

Many advanced healthcare professionals are also required to have American Heart Association Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certifications. These courses build on BLS training by teaching advanced skills in treating cardiac emergencies and other life-threatening conditions in both adult and pediatric patients.

For RNs, Paramedics, and other medical professionals, having ACLS or PALS certification can enhance your career, increase your responsibilities in healthcare, and improve patient outcomes.
