BLS Review Overview
The BLS express study guide is designed to give you a comprehensive review of the AHA BLS Manual for Health Care Providers. BLS for adults, infants, and children is included.
BLS Review: Part 1 and Part 2
Part 1 and Part 2 of the BLS Express includes a total of 65 questions. These review questions are designed to teach you as you go. After you answer each question, you will be provided with a rationale and a page number from the provider manual. You can reference the BLS provider manual if further study is needed. These BLS review questions will also help you if you are doing a quick cram session prior to your BLS class.
BLS Review: Part 3
Part 3 of the BLS Express includes 10 BLS scenarios that review each aspect of BLS including respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, foreign body airway obstruction, and opioid overdose. The adult, infant, and child are all addressed within these scenarios.
Please leave your comments at the bottom of the page and let me know how you liked the BLS review, and if you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know.

This course is very important, useful, helpful and very informative for health workers especially who are working at primary health facilities where have access to see these patients before they are being sent to higher centers for further treatment.
In developing countries this course is an important weapon in tackling and preventing complications and most of deaths from happening due to lack of this course.
I urge all health providers working at primary health facilities to take this course for the benefit of our patients because most of us do not have this training at all and we lose a lot of our patients due to lack of this course and the necessary equipments needed for resuscitation like AED machines, masks +BVM and trained teams

KWest says
I have been a nurse for 40 + yrs and the CPR process has changed many times. Having such a concise and informative review backed up by the AHA manual entries is awesome. Thank you!
Christopher Malisa says
This is helpfull, just wondering how you would get a response from a 9-months old infant from a tap on the shoulder, but otherwise it is very very educative and helpful.
KWest says
Infants respond in other ways than verbal. This is where observational skill come into focus
Dr. Hammad says
Thank You soo much for this effort. The MCQs helped alot. Today was my exam and I cleared it. Again, thank You.
Gwendolyn Johnson says
Thank you for this review and study guide. I did get confused during the scenarios with 1-2 person CPR ratios as they seemed different than the test answers, but I was able to work it out. I will utilize this site more often for refreshers.
Steve Giles says
For what age should you use the compression to ventilation ratio of 30:2 for 2-rescuer CPR?
after the onset of puberty
In an unresponsive adolescent, if no parent/guardian is present, how would you know if the child is at puberty? Puberty occurs at different ages in different adolescents.
ACLS says
The transition from child to adult CPR techniques is based on two main factors:
Age: The critical age cutoff is 8 years old
Physical Development: The onset of puberty (defined as appearance of breasts in females and axillary hair in males)
For adult resuscitation protocols one can also use weight an an appropriate indicator for CPR techniques. Adult protocols can be be applied to children weighing more than 55 kg (121 lbs).
Kind regards,
