Northeast State’s Office of Workforce Solutions hosts five basic life support (BLS) classes at the Northeast State at Kingsport campus this year.
These classes teach participants how to perform basic life support through CPR to help save a life during cardiac arrest or when the heart beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs.
Class dates are August 2, August 23, September 13, October 4, and October 25. All classes will meet from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Room 127 of the Regional Center for Health Professions, 300 W. Main Street, in downtown Kingsport. The class fee is $80.
Students completing the class receive a CPR certification. Many health care occupations including nurses and paramedics require a CPR certificate. For those who need to obtain certification, students are invited to apply for Workforce and Innovation Opportunity Act funds to help offset the training cost.
The American Heart Association’s BLS CPR class trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilation, and provide early use of an AED. Register now for the first class at https://training.northeaststate.edu.
CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, functions as an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. CPR extends the opportunity for successful resuscitation once trained medical staff arrive on site. Immediate CPR can double or triple a person’s chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
