BLS for Healthcare Providers (Student Manual)

Needed this manual to renew my BLS certification. The American Heart Association suggests 3 sources to purchase this item; all charged ridiculous shipping. Paying $7.95 shipping for an $11.00 book? FREE ship at Amazon with super saver shipping. SWEET!! Anyway, the manual is awesome, everything you need to know to get certified in Basic Life Support, and also excellent if you just want to learn how to provide CPR, use an automated external defibrillator, relieve a choking victim. The CD ROM is great for those who like the visual reinforcement of the text. BE AWARE-there are those out there selling the older manuals that do not reflect updates in practice. This is the most current version from 2006. I am guessing the committee will meet in the next couple of years to update if necessary.

I had this book when I took my cna course but wanted a newer one I really like this book comes in handy and teaches me alot

This book is very helpful and I was able to go along with the instructor because I had read it 2 days before attending the class. In fact I scored a hundred on my test! I would highly recommend to order the book ahead of time. It is an excellent book.

Very informative for individual , in the medical field and even for those who are interested in saving lives

I should not have thrown away my BLS and ACLS course books from my residency PGY3 year! I had to buy these books again to recertify. Anyway the book is good as usual although people say the AHA is coming out with a new version this year.

I just get my certification. The book really helps a lot for people like me who have preconceive notation that it's about mouth-to-mouth rescucitation. This book is perfect with the hands-on instruction and I recommend that you read it before going to a cpr class for the first time.

The 2009 edition of this book was required for the BLS class I took before going into externship for a medical assisting program. We found out in class (which was for just one day) that the American Heart Association had come out with new procedures (this was back in June, 2011), mainly that you can now use just chest compressions without necessarily doing breaths. Our instructor gave us handouts and showed a new film. I guess if you can do the class with a few handouts, you probably don't absolutely need a book. Wish we had been informed before class so that we could get refunds. So this book is no longer useful if you're going to get BLS certification under the current guidelines.

The book came in perfect condition and included a student cd for video learning. The content itself is a bit redundant and tends to jump around. This makes learning, the exact process of CPR, like trying to follow a maze. "Dumbing down" the presentation of the processes in the book may be a smart consideration for the American Heart Association.

ＡＨＡガイドライン変遷を知りたい方にお勧めです。一次救命の意識・呼吸・脈・通報・テンポ・胸骨圧迫深さの変遷をビジュアルに確認できます。マニアックな方には手元に置きたい一品です。
