Basic Life Support
This is the most basic of the health care provider skills for resuscitation of cardiac arrest patients. It includes only non-invasive techniques, including CPR with basic adjuncts; most states are adding difibrilation to the skill set of the BLS personnel. This is practiced by EMT's, first responders and is the first step of resuscitation in any arrest. Often called BLS or BCLS.
