The Save a Life Initiative has just released its newest course: Basic Life Support. This manual is based on the 2015-2020 Basic Life Support guidelines published by the American Heart Association. The Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider Handbook is a comprehensive resource intended for health care professionals currently enrolled in a Basic Life Support Certification or Recertification Course. It serves as the primary training material for BLS Certification and Recertification courses. Although it is primarily intended for professionals to use during their courses, the handbook was also created to serve as daily resource material for health care professionals. Information covered in the handbook includes Basic Life Support instruction for adults and children, AED usage, airway obstruction and rescue breathing techniques, and more. Specific Algorithms for BLS and more are also included within the handbook. All material included in this handbook is delivered in a manner meant to enhance learning in the most comprehensive and convenient way possible.

Regardless of occupation, BLS should be a known skillset for all. This content guide serves as an instruction manual designed to explain the necessary tools to provide effective BLS, whether in or outside of a hospital setting. When equipped with the right tools, it is possible to perform high-quality BLS and restore normal heart rhythm. The content in this guide favors terminology specific to personnel who routinely care for patients. However, non-medical personnel can also benefit from reading this guide, as cardiac arrests are not confined to hospital settings only. Some of the equipment discussed is not applicable for non-medical personnel, such as a bag-valve mask.

Extensively updated with the latest evidence-based approaches, engaging learning features, and detailed, high-quality photographs, Taylor’s Clinical Nursing Skills, 6th Edition, gives students the confidence and clinical judgment to effectively incorporate cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills for exceptional patient care. This robust text guides students step-by-step through the full continuum of clinical nursing skills and complements Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Person-Centered Care, 10th Edition to create a seamless, superior learning experience throughout the nursing curriculum and equip students for successful nursing practice.
