BLS at Home and in the Community

Emergencies Can Happen Anywhere

Most cardiac arrests actually happen at home. Family members with BLS skills are often the first responders.

Common Scenarios

  • A grandparent collapses suddenly.
  • A child swallows a small toy and starts choking.
  • An adult has a near-drowning incident in a backyard pool.

Building a Safer Community

Community centers, churches, and workplaces often offer BLS training, making neighborhoods safer for everyone.

Examples

  • A teen performs CPR on a family member until EMS arrives.

  • A neighbor uses BLS skills to save a friend at the community pool.
