DEFINITIONS
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) usually refers to basic life support (BLS), which includes rescue breathing and closed chest cardiac compressions. However, practically the term is much broader and includes advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), pediatric advanced life support (PALS) and advanced trauma life support (ATLS).
Advance life support courses refers to the following courses; Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Life Support (PAL) and Neonatal Resuscitation Support Program (NRSP).
