FAQ about our BLS-AED-SRC training courses in the canton of Fribourg
The BLS-AED-SRC algorithm (Basic Life Support – Automated External Defibrillator) is a structured method developed by the Swiss Resuscitation Council (SRC) to guide first responders in managing cardiac arrests. It is based on a clear sequence of actions designed to maximise the chances of survival and reduce complications during life-threatening emergencies.
The associated first aid course teaches essential skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), high-performance CPR (HPCPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). It also covers promptly alerting the emergency services and following the X-ABCDE protocol, ensuring comprehensive management of life-threatening priorities, including clearing the airways, controlling bleeding and monitoring vital signs.
Based on the latest international recommendations (ILCOR, ERC), this algorithm is suitable for both members of the public and professionals. It is designed for use in a variety of settings, including companies and high-risk environments. By taking a BLS-AED-SRC course, you will master this algorithm and become a key link in the chain of survival.
No specific prerequisites are required for the compact or full BLS-AED-SRC course. It is open to anyone aged 12 or over, whether a member of the public or a professional, who wishes to acquire first aid skills.
The main topics include:
- Recognising cardiac arrest: identifying vital signs and the absence of normal breathing.

- Using an AED: correct electrode placement, cardiac rhythm analysis and delivering shocks when necessary.
- Recovery position to stabilise unconscious victims.
- X-ABCDE protocol: assessing and managing life-threatening priorities, such as airway management and bleeding control.
Yes, BLS-AED-SRC training is suitable for responding to emergencies involving both adults and children. For children, it includes specific techniques such as initial rescue breaths, chest compressions at an appropriate depth (one-third of the chest) and the use of standard AED electrodes if paediatric electrodes are not available.
