BLS Recertification: how long will it take?

BLS Certification commonly lasts for about 2-3 years. Since it is not for a lifetime pass, it must be renewed prior to the expiration date or when you intend to. Some training courses are offering BLS Recertification to update your skills and knowledge to the current procedures and guidelines of Basic Life Saving techniques. Just like any other medical certifications, like Basic Life Saving certification which involves technical and hands-on methods, must be updated on the continuously changing guidelines and procedures. This is to ensure that the certifications are up-to-date and are still generally accepted by medical institutions and by some of the employers. It also helps in building and improving the skills and techniques they already received or learned in the previous certification.

Date: August 5th, 2016

This is a new system to be used to help re-start the hearts of patients who have suffered a cardiac arrest. The system is made up of two devices that are used simultaneously by rescue personnel.

ResQPump Active Compression Decompression CPR Device

The first part of the system is a device that attaches to the chest of the patient. This device allows the first responder to perform chest compressions easier. The little device has two handles and when the responder pushes down on the device, it compresses the chest and when they lift up on the handles, the chest is decompressed. The device was designed to make chest compression easier, and to leave the patient with fewer traumas due to the chest compression. This device is called “the ResQPump Active Compression/Decompression Device”.
