American red cross

"Basic Life Support (BLS) is the foundation of emergency care, designed to keep a person alive during cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, or choking until advanced medical help arrives. It focuses on prompt recognition of emergencies, high-quality CPR, and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)."

"Advanced Life Support (ALS) encompasses emergency medical protocols that build on basic CPR. Designed for healthcare professionals, it involves invasive airway management, cardiac monitoring, and the administration of life-saving medications. Common credentials include American Heart Association (AHA) and American Red Cross certifications"
