BLS in Schools and Sports

The Importance of BLS at School and During Sports

Schools and sports events are common places for accidents or medical emergencies. Knowing BLS can turn bystanders into heroes!

When BLS Is Needed

  • Someone collapses during PE class.
  • A teammate suffers a sudden cardiac arrest on the field.
  • A student chokes in the cafeteria.

Making It Happen

Many schools now have AEDs and train staff and students in BLS. Quick action can save lives before paramedics arrive.

Examples

  • A volleyball coach uses an AED on a player who faints during practice.

  • A student leader performs the Heimlich maneuver on a choking friend.
