CPR training courses are divided into 3 levels: “A”, “C”, and “HCP”. AEDs are machines able to detect heart rhythms through pads attached to the chest and torso. All training levels are inclusive of training in basic first aid and AED, in accordance with the latest Basic Life Support (BLS) guidelines set by the American Heart Association and workplace approved.

First-time trainees are introduced to updated BLS guidelines and pathways during CPR training. The 2010 BLS updates focused on a new pathway for performing CPR and AED after recognizing cardiac arrest. The techniques on proper CPR are also emphasized during training, since correct CPR performance has been shown to increase the survival rate of victims who suffered from cardiac arrest. One of the updates included in the latest BLS is a change in the pattern used during CPR.

Stand-alone classes

For trainees who do not want to undergo the complete training course, stand-alone basic first aid and CPR and AED training classes are available. Stand-alone classes on food safety, fire hazards, and pet first aid, are just a few of the classes offered by Vancouver First Aid. Basic first training classes focus on skill development regarding emergency techniques such as simple bandaging and j-thrust (choking rescue) maneuvers. A variety of emergency situations are discussed during first aid lectures. A video demonstrating the j-thrust (choking rescue) can be seen below.
