Course aims

The aims and objectives of this online CSTF Resuscitation – Adult Basic Life Support training course are to:

• To provide the learner with a clear understanding of the legislation regarding basic life support
• Provide the learner with a full understanding of the current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidance for adult basic life support
• To inform learners how to give essential CPR to individuals
• To help learners understand the risks surrounding CPR.

Learning outcomes

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation learning outcomes are divided into three levels based on knowledge, skills and understanding. The appropriate level of training is dependent upon an individual’s role, work context and a local risk assessment. The levels given here are for the majority of staff who might need to be involved in delivering CPR. However, there are additional specialist levels of outcomes which need to be achieved for those who are expected to lead a resuscitation team, are resuscitation team members or teach resuscitation.

These specialist outcomes are not covered in this course. For further information about specialist outcomes, please see the Resuscitation Council (2015) Resuscitation Guidelines and the Quality Standards for Clinical Practice and Training. Where staff are exposed to and involved in the care of patients from a range of age groups, they should receive the appropriate type of resuscitation training.

By the end of this online CSTF Resuscitation – Adult Basic Life Support Level 2 training course, you will be able to understand:

• Signs of clinical deterioration and how you should respond
• How to deliver effective lung ventilation and good quality chest compressions
• What to do if you find someone who is choking
• What an AED is and how to use one safely
• Emergency event record keeping
• What a DNACPR means and why people might want to refuse emergency treatment
• How to record event information accurately
• Your role and responsibilities.

Why is online resuscitation training essential?

It is a common expectation that healthcare and social care staff will have sufficient knowledge and skills to be able to recognise and respond to signs of clinical deterioration. Where healthcare staff can anticipate, identify and respond to patient signs of clinical deterioration, they can prevent further decline that might otherwise culminate in cardio-respiratory arrest. Consequently, there has been a particular focus on promoting greater awareness and understanding of the needs and care of the deteriorating patient.

While the priority is on preventing clinical deterioration, some patients’ condition will progress to cardio-respiratory arrest and require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Early and adequate resuscitation can save lives. Research in emergency care of collapsed people has led to significant advances in resuscitation techniques. Healthcare organisations must have a clearly defined resuscitation policy and ensure that they provide an effective resuscitation response and service.

As part of their duty to ensure safe and effective care, healthcare organisations must ensure that their workforce receives the appropriate training, including periodic updates, to maintain a level of resuscitation competence relevant to their role. The requirements stated are minimum standards and apply to the majority of the workforce in roles and settings where they might be required to provide initial CPR until the arrival of advanced life support expertise and support.

What is covered in this course?

This online CSTF Resuscitation – Adult Basic Life Support training course covers the principal learning outcomes for adult basic life support (BLS) levels 1 and 2. On completion of this online CSTF Resuscitation – Adult Basic Life Support, learners will:

• Be able to recognise a cardiorespiratory arrest

• Be ready to start CPR using chest compressions
• Understand current legislation and local resuscitation policies and procedures
• Know how to recognise and respond to patients with clinical deterioration, escalating care following local policy
• Be able to initiate an appropriate emergency response, which may include management of choking, and the use of the recovery position, all per current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines
• Be able to initiate and maintain effective chest compressions following current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines
• Be able to provide essential airway management, i.e. ensure an open airway
• Be able to initiate and maintain sufficient lung ventilation per current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines
• Know how an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can be operated safely and appropriately
• Understand their role and responsibilities in responding to persons in emergencies
• Understand their responsibilities in reporting and recording details of an emergency event accurately
• Understand the importance of undertaking any resuscitation interventions within the limits of their capabilities and context of any previous training received
• Know how they should apply the local Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Policy within the clinical setting.
