The Canadian Red Cross Basic Life Support (BLS) recertification course is designed to provide physiotherapists with the latest training and techniques to manage emergency situations effectively. This course covers a wide range of topics, including the assessment of vital signs, airway management, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and automated external defibrillation (AED).

One of the key features of this course is the use of a Simulaids Airway Trainer, which allows participants to practice the insertion of various airway devices, such as oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways. This tool helps participants gain hands-on experience in managing airway obstruction and ensures they are comfortable handling airway devices in real-life situations.

Another valuable tool utilized in this course is the Prestan Professional Mannikins, which come equipped with a Bluetooth app for CPR results. This app allows participants to track their CPR performance and receive immediate feedback, enabling them to adjust their technique accordingly.

Through a combination of practical and theoretical training, this course provides physiotherapists with the confidence and skills needed to respond to life-threatening emergencies effectively. By completing the Canadian Red Cross BLS recertification course, physiotherapists can ensure they are fully prepared to provide the highest level of care to their patients.
