• BLS for adults focuses on doing several tasks
simultaneously. In previous versions of BLS, the focus
was primarily on one-rescuer CPR. In many situations,
more than one person is available to do CPR. This
simultaneous and choreographed method includes
performing chest compressions, managing the airway,
delivering rescue breaths, and using the AED, all as a
team. By coordinating efforts, a team of rescuers can
save valuable seconds when time lost equals damage to
the heart and brain.
