The Division of Occupational Health and Safety (DOHS) has collaborated with the NIH Clinical Center Nursing Department to incorporate Basic Life Safety (BLS) and Lay Responder CPR/AED class registrations into their Course Registration System. This initiative enhances the user experience and optimizes technology investment to improve efficiency.
By utilizing this cost-free training, employees can dramatically improve the survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest. CPR/AED training prepares participants to respond to a medical emergency; and the combination of instructor and hands-on training assures maximum skills retention.
Participants learn how to:
- Take action in a medical emergency
- Assess the victim
- Provide basic life support, including airway management, breathing and circulation
- Use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
