_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

The American Heart Association (AHA) HeartCode BLS (Basic Life Support) Skill Session is a component of the AHA's blended learning program for healthcare professionals seeking certification in BLS. This skill session is designed to reinforce the knowledge and skills acquired through the online portion of the HeartCode BLS course.

The HeartCode BLS course is an interactive online program that provides healthcare professionals with a flexible and convenient way to learn and refresh their knowledge of BLS. It covers essential topics such as adult and pediatric CPR, choking relief, and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The online portion includes interactive exercises, videos, and simulations to enhance learning and retention.

Upon completion of the online course, participants are required to attend a hands-on skill session, which is conducted by an AHA BLS instructor. During this session, participants have the opportunity to practice and demonstrate their skills in a controlled environment under the guidance of the instructor. The skill session typically lasts around 1-2 hours, depending on the number of participants and their proficiency level.

During the skill session, participants are evaluated on their ability to perform key BLS skills accurately and effectively. These skills include assessing the victim's responsiveness, activating emergency medical services (EMS), performing high-quality chest compressions, providing rescue breaths, using an AED, and managing choking situations. The instructor provides feedback and guidance to help participants improve their technique and ensure they meet the AHA's standards for BLS certification.

It is important to note that the HeartCode BLS skill session is not a standalone course. Participants must complete the online portion before attending the skill session. The online course provides the necessary theoretical knowledge, while the skill session allows participants to apply that knowledge in a practical setting.

The AHA HeartCode BLS skill session is a hands-on component of the blended learning program for healthcare professionals seeking certification in BLS. It provides an opportunity for participants to practice and demonstrate their BLS skills under the guidance of an AHA instructor, ensuring they meet the standards set by the AHA for BLS certification.
