Have you ever applied for a job that required BLS certification?
“I’m CPR certified,” you say. “But does that count? Am I qualified?”
Sound familiar?…
I get a lot of questions about the difference between BLS and CPR. So, I thought I would take a second to delve into this on a deeper level.
I spoke with our Training and Compliance Manager , concerning the topic and this is what he had to say:
“There is no difference between BLS and CPR,” he said. “BLS is an abbreviation for Basic Life Support. It is simply another term for CPR and leans towards meaning healthcare provider level.”
“But what about when people are doing research online and find comments that seem to suggest it is a different certification?” I asked.
“Most often, when a person is searching online or asking about a BLS certification, they mean Healthcare Provider level CPR,” he explained. “However, BLS is a generic term for any form of CPR. This is especially the case in other countries, like the UK. Basic life support refers to maintaining an open airway and supporting breathing and circulation without the use of equipment other than a protective device.”
“So, then if it’s the same, why is there still so much confusion about the terms?” I asked him.
“Where confusion comes from is that the term BLS has traditionally been associated with Healthcare Provider level CPR,” he answered. “The American Heart Association certification for healthcare providers is titled, “BLS for Healthcare Providers”. The American Red Cross equivalent certification is called “CPR for the Professional Rescuer and Healthcare Providers. Years ago, the American Heart Association term was BCLS (Basic Cardiac Life Support), or BLS level C.”
“Okay, so it’s just because of the difference in terminology which makes it seem more complicated than it really is?” I ventured.
“Not quite,” he responded. “The real issue is not about the term BLS. Rather, it is about getting to the root of what course content the person needs in order to determine which level of CPR a person needs. For example, healthcare providers need (Healthcare provider Adult/Child/Infant CPR/AED level), teachers and daycare providers need (Lay rescuer Adult/Child/Infant CPR/AED level), general workplace people need First Aid Basic or CPR Basic (Lay rescuer Adult CPR/AED level).”
MAKE SURE YOUR HEALTH CLUB STAFF IS CPR-READY
Make Sure Your Health Club Staff Is CPR-Ready for 2019. More than 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside of hospitals each year, and 90 percent of Americans who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die. However, the American Heart Association estimates that properly administered CPR can triple a person’s odds of survival. Anthony Dominic – Content Producer | Dec 20, 2018
Several life-saving resuscitation episodes have recently played out at health clubs across the country—a reminder to ensure your health club staff is trained in CPR for the new year.
Approximately 90 percent of personal trainers are expected to have CPR and first aid training, according to IHRSA’s 2018 U.S. Fitness Professional Outlook report.

Episode No. 1: LA Fitness, Allen Park, Michigan
On Dec. 1, an off-duty nurse saved a man’s life at an LA Fitness club in Allen Park, Michigan, after he collapsed from a heart attack while exercising. Another club member attempted CPR on the man with no success, after which nurse Amal Hammoud called for a nearby automated external defibrillator (AED). “Within a few seconds, he started to breathe again, and his heart was beating,” Amal told ABC 7. “It worked, and the ambulance got there quickly.”
Episode No. 2: Merrimack Valley YMCA, Andover, Massachusetts
In early December, Stacie Logan, 29, was running on a treadmill at the Merrimack Valley YMCA in Andover when she suddenly went into cardiac arrest and fell to the floor. She told WSB-TV 2 that she hit her head during the fall and was unconscious for six minutes while Y staff twice administered an AED. Logan, who has finished six marathons in her life, spent a week in the hospital undergoing surgeries to install a pacemaker and a defibrillator in her chest.
Episode No. 3: Snap Fitness, Medora, Indiana
This fall, Ed Chambers, 68, was running and lifting at his Snap Fitness club in Medora, Indiana, when he blacked out. Another club member, Aaron Wilkins, thought Chambers had tripped and fallen, according to a report by the Seymour Tribune. When Chambers didn’t respond, Wilkins called 911 and administered an AED. Chambers survived but required surgery and weeks of rehab. In mid-December 2018, the American Heart Association presented Wilkins with the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Heartsaver Award, and the American Red Cross presented him with the Extraordinary Personal Action award.
Many more episodes like these have likely played out in other health clubs during the year, but recapping the success of resuscitation efforts is a reminder that keeping your staff trained and ensuring you have an AED in your club is worth the effort. Not only could it save the life of a member, but it is much better for your club to be able to recount a story of a successful save than to live with the memory of not being able to save a member due to lack of training or no AED being on hand.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is cardiac arrest?
Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have been diagnosed with heart disease. It can come on suddenly, or in the wake of other symptoms. Cardiac arrest is often fatal, if appropriate steps aren’t taken immediately.
Each year in the United States, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of a hospital setting.
Is a heart attack the same as cardiac arrest?
No. The term “heart attack” is often mistakenly used to describe cardiac arrest. While a heart attack may cause cardiac arrest, the two terms don’t mean the same thing.
Heart attacks are caused by a blockage that stops blood flow to the heart. A heart attack (or myocardial infarction) refers to death of heart muscle tissue due to the loss of blood supply. Heart attack can be understood as a “circulation” problem. A heart attack is quite serious, sometimes fatal.
By contrast, cardiac arrest is caused when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions. The heart stops beating properly. Hence the name: The heart’s pumping function is “arrested,” or stopped.
In cardiac arrest, death can result quickly if proper steps aren’t taken immediately. Cardiac arrest may be reversed if CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is performed and a defibrillator is used to shock the heart and restore a normal heart rhythm within a few minutes.

Cardiac arrest may be caused by irregular heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. A common arrhythmia associated with cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation means that the heart’s lower chambers suddenly start beating chaotically and don’t pump blood.
