FAQ about our BLS-AED-SRC training courses in Geneva
The BLS-AED-SRC (Basic Life Support - Automated External Defibrillator) algorithm is a structured method developed by the Swiss Resuscitation Council (SRC) to guide first-aiders in the management of cardiocirculatory arrest. It is based on a clear sequence of actions designed to maximise the chances of survival and reduce complications in life-threatening emergencies.
The associated first aid training teaches essential skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), high performance cardiac massage (HPCPR), and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). It also incorporates rapid alert to the emergency services and compliance with the X-ABCDE protocol, guaranteeing complete management of vital priorities: clearing the airway, controlling haemorrhage and monitoring vital signs.
Based on the latest international recommendations (ILCOR, ERC), this algorithm is aimed at both individuals and professionals. It is designed to be applied in a variety of contexts, including corporate or high-risk environments. By taking part in a BLS-AED-SRC training course, you will master this algorithm, becoming a key player in the chain of survival.
No specific pre-requisites are required to take the BLS-AED-SRC compact or full course. It is accessible to anyone aged 12 and over, whether an individual or a professional, wishing to acquire first aid skills.
The main content includes:
- Recognition of cardiac arrest: identification of vital signs and absence of normal breathing.
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): chest massage at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
- Use of AED: correct placement of electrodes, analysis of heart rhythm and administration of shocks if necessary.
- Safety Lateral Position (SLP) to stabilise unconscious victims.
- X-ABCDE protocol: assessment and management of vital priorities, such as airway and haemorrhage control.
Yes, BLS-AED-SRC training is suitable for intervening with adults and children. For children, it includes specific techniques such as initial ventilations, cardiac massage with an adapted depth (1/3 of the thorax) and the use of standard AED electrodes if those for children are not available.
