BLS Algorithms - Updated 2020

The Basic Life Support Algorithms provide a detailed process for life-saving actions for one and two-rescuer situations for infants, children, and adults. The BLS course can be taken by both healthcare and non-healthcare professionals, as you’ll see from the basic decision-making involved in BLS sequences. When paired with the ProMed Certifications Basic Life Support course, the BLS algorithms will give you the confidence to save a life in an emergency.

Pediatric BLS One Rescuer Algorithm

Pediatric BLS One Rescuer Algorithm

This algorithm describes the BLS sequence specifically for children and infants. There are key differences when compared to the BLS algorithm for adults. Infants are not a newborn but less than 1 year old. Children are older than 1 year old but younger than puberty.

Pediatric BLS Two-Rescuer Algorithm

Pediatric BLS Two-Rescuer Sequence

There are slight differences between the one and two-rescuer algorithms for children and infants. This algorithm highlights what makes a two-rescuer situation unique.
