Hello to all of my Healthcare brothers and sister! The 2020 AHA Guidelines are out. I have posted the new videos for BLS, ACLS, and PALS: th-cam.com/play/PLhOFBB3AV9swkQ1KUodrLKmxvEbI3R0-R.html. These changes will not take place until February 2021; however, these concepts are currently being taught in your courses. ☺️❤️
HELLO MS. CHEUNG CAN I ASK A COPY OF YOUR POWERPOINT ALONE, THE DETAILS ONLY THAT WAS SHOWN IN THE POWERPOINT SINCE I REALLY NEED IT FOR AHA TRAINING. HOPING FOR YOUR POSITIVE RESPONSE, THANK YOU!
I did the online course offered by the AHA and have a skills check off at my nursing school this week. These videos are super helpful. Thank you! Update: I passed! Officially BLS certified
That's awesome that your nursing school lets you take the online course and skills on campus ☺️ I was never given that opportunity when I went to school. I am so glad my video was helpful in your studies ☺️❤️ Keep up the amazing work you are doing
I'm about to sit the Basic life support exam pritty soon, to be work has kept me from studying your videos are very helpful. I thank God for your explanation they've handy
@@da-liyaJoseph great question. It’s really depends upon if you study for it . I did an online course and then the other half in person (BLS AHA ) . ACLS is a bit more difficult in my opinion but I feel it’s best to take it back to back, because the content are similar. I hope this helps and wish you luck
This video definitely helped alleviate my worries about my BLS skills test tomorrow. I'm definitely taking notes and I hope to pass! Update: Passed my BLS skills test!!
Hey thanks for the (Free) review! Very well presented. Interesting, but needing to do this more for my nursing job. Doing BLS in real life is extremely rare. In fact, as rare as winning the Lotto! Anyway, always appreciated to have a colleague who likes to teach and share!
You asses the environment for safety first. Look for anything that might be dangerous, like signs of fire, falling debris, or violent people. If your safety is at risk, remove yourself from the area and call for help. If the scene is safe, assess the condition of the sick or injured person. You are a good trainer. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind feedback Dalia Sandino Cruz 💜☺️ I agree. The number one intervention is to make sure the environment is safe. There is already one victim, you definitely don't want to add another. ☺️
You got this Danielle Alvarado ☺️❤️ Knowing the 2020 updates early will put you way ahead of the rest of the group. Hugs to you and your certification renewal
@@ssnehassiva5831 Just google “BLS classes near me”, or you can go through the Red Cross site. Once you find the right one, you’ll typically have to pay a fee and then attend. My in person class consisted of hands on instruction and short segments of lecturing in between, then at the end (after ~2hours) you take a written test (mine was multiple choice). At the end of the process I got certified
Congratulations on getting a perfect score on your recertification test! 🎉👏 I'm so happy to hear that my video helped boost your confidence and provided you with the knowledge and skills you needed to succeed. Thank you for watching my video!
Tomorrow is my BLS having less time 11 hours, Came across your video and it says it all. A complete guide can see your video and directly go for the exam There is adequate information in the video Hoping I could get through.
That's great to hear! It sounds like you're making good use of the resources available to you. Best of luck with your BLS exam tomorrow-sounds like you're well prepared! Remember, stay calm and confident, you've got this! 🌟📘
Congratulations on getting ready to renew your BLS Marie Lady. You got this! You are going to pass it with flying colors I just know it. Happy New Year and stay safe out there as well. You're number one supporter is right here ☺️💜
I am so humbled to hear that my videos were helpful Beatrice mayaka ☺️❤️ I will try my best to keep putting out quality content and I love the continued support
I watched your video as a supplement to the AHA online course I completed. I took my in-person BLS Certification class and passed! Thank you for your resource of information! It helped a nervous me feel more confident going into the in-person certification!
Hi Joy ☺️💜 I am so humbled to hear that my BLS video was helpful in your success and confidence for the certificate. Congratualtions on dominating the exam and skills check offs. I am always here if you have any questions ☺️
You are the heart and soul of the unit Pring 😊💜 I love and care deeply for my CNAs when I was working the beside, and I am so glad you found my video helpful 💜

Congratulations on starting LPN school Nasby Ousmane ☺️💜I am so humbled that my videos were helpful in your preparation for the BLS certification. You got this! I believe in you!
Absolutely, it's really cool that you're still finding the BLS video helpful! It's amazing how some resources just keep on giving, year after year. If there's anything in the video that's got you scratching your head or if you just want to chat more about any of the BLS stuff, I'm here to help out. Kudos to you for keeping your skills sharp and up-to-date - that's super important in the world of healthcare. Thanks for dropping by to share, and keep rocking it with your learning journey! 🌟👩⚕️🚑📖👍
I've heard of the joke what if D. N. R. is tattooed on their chest. The good Samaritan Law in California protects you if you decide to act OR, not to act to attempt resuscitation for that person. Very helpful review for my recert. thanks!
Interesting. Thank you for the feedback. I would recommend that everyone review local laws and guidelines regarding emergency care and DNR orders, especially for healthcare professionals and individuals who are likely to encounter such situations. Situations involving DNR orders are delicate and require careful consideration of legal, ethical, and medical factors.
Question at 12:05 Regarding rescue breaths you state after every "round " of chest compressions The provider should provide two breaths every two to three seconds. If you were doing just rescue breathing this would be the case, but after compressions it would only be 2 breaths and 30 compressions. Not 30 compressions and 2 breaths every 2-3 seconds unless it was an advanced airway, correct?
You are correct in identifying a discrepancy. Let me clarify the general guidelines for CPR in adults: Without Advanced Airway: After every 30 chest compressions, the provider should give 2 rescue breaths (taking about 1 second each) and then resume chest compressions. This 30:2 ratio is continued. With an Advanced Airway: Continuous chest compressions are given without pauses, and breaths are delivered once every 6 seconds (or about 10 breaths per minute). For rescue breathing without chest compressions (for example, in a drowning victim who has a pulse but is not breathing), breaths are given once every 5-6 seconds (or about 10-12 breaths per minute) in adults. In children and infants (when only one rescuer is present), the compression to breath ratio is also 30:2. However, when there are two rescuers, the ratio is 15:2. Always be sure to follow the most recent guidelines provided by authoritative sources such as the American Heart Association (AHA) or equivalent organizations in your country.
Haha For a long period of time, some people complained that it was distracting to see the reflection in my glasses, so I transitioned to frames without lenses and wore contacts. Now, I am back in my regular glasses because I can't see 😊💜
I’m nervous. It’s my first time taking the class today. I signed up last minute yesterday because just yesterday my nursing school informed us to get certified in a short period of time. I hope I do well though. Ah!
Did you dominate your first BLS course Yamileth L? ☺️💜 I know you did! Nursing School is going to throw a lot of curve balls your way when it comes to exams, mandatory requirements, and clinical. Just keep pushing you got this. Per aspera ad astra 💜
You are an Excellent young Nurse CPR ❤️ 😘 Instructor, Thanks for sharing your amazing knowledge 🙏 I'm in the Medical field, taking care elderly people on their Private Homes 🏡, Memory Health care Facilities , 🏢🏘🏤 and Hospitals 🏥 But also I travel alot to Central America, Guatemala to visit and assisting Mayan Communities with cero Income, So I love to learn more from the experts USA Medical field Nurses. So I can be able to renew my CPR/BLS certification, with the Red Cross on December 2022. And be successful on Saving Life's. Best regards from Guatemala 🇬🇹 your welcome 🙏 Any time, we love our volunteers Nurses and Doctors from United States, Germany, Israel, Cuban, and Mexican all are our Angel's of take care the vulnerable communities in Guatemala 🇬🇹
Hi Erica - Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Nurse Cheung to help renew your CPR certification. I am glad to have you as part of our community of nurses and healthcare professionals! I hope you find our courses helpful and informative and that you'll continue to use Nurse Cheung as your source for online CPR training. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything we can do to improve your experience. 😊💜 I love our international healthcare professionals and always support the amazing work you do.
Thats a great question Michael Laviola ☺️ It is really dependent on the situation and resources. If you are a single rescuer or 2 rescuer without a bag valve mask, then you will perform breaths after each round of chest compressions. However, in the hospital setting, we have a bag valve mask and provide rescue breaths every 2-3 seconds for pediatric patients and every 6 seconds for adults. I hope that helps answer your question.
agonal respiration is an indicator of cardiac arrest, so you must begin chest compressions (CPR) immediately. But Nurse cheung said If Pt's pulse present with agonal breath, begin resque breathing? Can you verify this for me?
Great question Seohyun Peters ☺️💜 Here is the algorithms for BLS, ACLS, PALS for the American Heart Association cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/cpr-and-ecc-guidelines/algorithms. These will advise what to do for agonal breathing. If the heart rate is less than 60, then you will begin CPR. However, if the heart rate is greater than 60 with agonal breathing, you want to provide rescue breaths.
Great question Kwuan Hill ☺️💜 My BLS video is all inclusive regarding the information you need to know to pass the exam and skills checkoff. However, some organizations may require you to purchase the book to bring to the class. I would recommend following up with the provider will be administering the class to make sure that is not a requirement. Otherwise, you are golden ☺️
One quick question: first you note to check responsiveness first, then check for scene safety, then (9:30) you note scene safety first. Is this done differently for adults vs peds, thanks, wish me luck Friday.
Great question Zinc Man. You always want to check for scene safety if you are out in the field and someone collapses. There are times victims may collapse in the middle of the street. It is important to remove the victim and yourself out of a dangerous situation. There are stories where victims and rescuers were hurt performing CPR in a dangerous location. If you get hurt, then you are not going to be able to help anyone else or yourself. I hope that helps answer your question ☺️❤️
Can you explain why it is ok to give rescue breaths to an unresponsive choking INFANT even when you do not see the object, but not for a child or an adult??
Great question Roger Holmes. Where did you read that rescue breaths are not indicated for a child or an adult when there is a foreign airway obstruction?
@@NurseCheung in the provider manual and when I was in class they did not say anything about giving breaths to anyone but a choking infant. But also they did not state why it is ok to give breaths. Don’t you risk pushing the object further in? Especially if you have to tilt the head back? And also are you supposed to give breaths until the chest rises or just try it one time and then go back to compressions and then try breaths again?
Hello, if a pt choked and is unconscious, we do cpr as per AHA but I’m wondering if we do rescue breathing wouldn’t it drive the fbao further down the airway?
Great question Marcial Bonifacio 😊💜 If the patient is unconscious and was choking prior, then you would perform CPR as the patient has most likely lost a pulse, but I would still follow the BLS algorithm to confirm no pulse is present. After a round of CPR, the algorithm would require you to turn the patient on their side and look in the mouth to see if the object is present. Never blind sweep in the person's mouth, as this can push the object back down, blocking the airway. I will also note that if you ask the person if they need help and they gesture that they do not want help, do not touch the person as this can be considered battery if you are sued. Once the person becomes unconscious, consent is implied to save their life. I hope that helps answer your question. 😊
I have a quick question. If I am the only person there after scene safety and activating emergency response, do I get the defibrillator then start chest compressions if I am alone?
Great question Abbagale Perez ☺️💜 I always recommend performing at least 1 round of high quality CPR (2 minutes) then you can obtain a defibrillator if you are alone. Especially if the arrest was not witnessed.
If the arrest is witnessed and you're alone, you get the defibrillator first. If the arrest was not witnessed, you do 5 cycles of CPR, then retrieve the defibrillator. Bls instructor of over 7 years.
Great question Karina McLoughlin ☺️ For adults, the new 2020 Guidelines advise that we provide 1 breath every 6 seconds with or without an advanced airway as discussed in the 4:49 part of my video. For pediatrics, we provide 1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds. There was a typo on my slide for pediatric resuscitation; however, the breath count is listed from the 2015 to 2020 guidelines in the table on the slide.
Great question Rajani Prasad. If you google American Heart Association BLS, you will find the AHA website. The online version of BLS is called Heartcode. Please Note: If you decide to take the Heartcode BLS online, you will still be required to go to an American Heart Association Training Center for skills verification. I hope that helps.
I am sorry to hear you didn't pass your Basic Life Support Exam Diego Munoz. Make sure you watch the video in its entirety and study the material. It is based on the most up to date 2020 guidelines 💜
Great question Mumthasrassy Rassy ☺️ When you look at a defibrillator, you are going to see a button called energy select or some variation of that. This is how you are going to select your joules to provide during each shock for the patient when necessary. If you have a child who weights 20 kg then you are going to dial up the energy to 40 joules (2 joules x 20 kg = 40 joules). Each subsequent shock (4, 6, 8) will require more energy. Remember you never want to go above 10 joules/kg. ☺️💜
Thank u mam. But adult have 80kg or more first shock giving 160j right.then what about second and third shoke(4,6,8). In biphasic defib upto 200j.plss clarify this.
Obtaining an American Heart Association (AHA) certificate typically involves the following steps: Choose the Desired Course: The AHA offers a range of courses, from Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare professionals to Heartsaver courses for the general public. You'll need to determine which certification is right for your needs. Find an Authorized Training Center or Instructor: Use the AHA's "Find a Course" tool on their website to locate a training center or course near you. Register for the Course: Once you've identified the right course and location, you'll need to register. Some courses may have online components, while others are entirely in-person. Complete the Course: Depending on the course, this might involve online modules, in-person skill sessions, or a combination of both. Ensure you attend all required sessions and complete all modules. Pass the Exam: After completing the course content, you'll typically have to pass an exam. This might include both a written component and a hands-on skills test. Receive Your Certificate: Once you pass the exam, you will receive your AHA certification card. This can be a physical card, an eCard, or both, depending on the training center. Stay Current: AHA certifications are valid for two years. To maintain your certification, you'll need to take a renewal or recertification course before your current certification expires. It's essential to ensure that any course you take is an official AHA course if you want an AHA certification. Some other organizations offer similar training but are not affiliated with the AHA, so always check credentials.
Yes and no. The American Heart Association (AHA) offers BLS courses online with an in-person skills test component. You will still need to find a testing facility near you for skills check-offs so it is not 100% online. You can visit their website to find an authorized training center near you and register for the course. Just make sure to choose the "Blended Learning" option to complete the online portion before attending the in-person skills test. Good luck!

Im confused on the pediatric BLS. Do you give breaths every 2-3 seconds or do you give breaths after every round of CPR?
Thats a great question Michael Laviola ☺️ It is really dependent on the situation and resources. If you are a single rescuer or 2 rescuer without a bag valve mask, then you will perform breaths after each round of chest compressions. However, in the hospital setting, we have a bag valve mask and provide rescue breaths every 2-3 seconds for pediatric patients and every 6 seconds for adults. I hope that helps answer your question.
@@NurseCheung Shukran for the clarification .this is very clear
I watched this before exam , i scored 96%😜
That's awesome Jay Muiruri 😀 Congratulations on passing and destroying the BLS Certification with that high score.
@@NurseCheung thanks to you🙂🙂🙂
The link you mentioned, MORE RESOURCES (CHEAT SHEETS, POWERPOINTS, AND BLS CARDS) is a dead link as it gives an error message.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will check and update the link as soon as possible.
agonal respiration is an indicator of cardiac arrest, so you must begin chest compressions (CPR) immediately. But Nurse cheung said If Pt's pulse present with agonal breath, begin resque breathing? Can you verify this for me?
Great question Seohyun Peters ☺️💜 Here is the algorithms for BLS, ACLS, PALS for the American Heart Association cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/cpr-and-ecc-guidelines/algorithms. These will advise what to do for agonal breathing. If the heart rate is less than 60, then you will begin CPR. However, if the heart rate is greater than 60 with agonal breathing, you want to provide rescue breaths.
waa i like you presentation, it is very helpful video. thank you.

Great! Thanks for update 🌹
Thank you Anand Joshi ☺️ I am glad my video was helpful in understanding the 2020 Updates for the BLS
Thank you 😊
My pleasure Karen Holland ☺️💜 Best of luck on your BLS certification exam.
Well very well
hello, do I really need to buy a new bls book or can i use the 15-1010 with your updated video?
Great question Kwuan Hill ☺️💜 My BLS video is all inclusive regarding the information you need to know to pass the exam and skills checkoff. However, some organizations may require you to purchase the book to bring to the class. I would recommend following up with the provider will be administering the class to make sure that is not a requirement. Otherwise, you are golden ☺️
I'm more confused now than when I first started!
What is confusing Patty Gorman? Is there a concept that I can help breakdown so you can understand better? ☺️
One quick question: first you note to check responsiveness first, then check for scene safety, then (9:30) you note scene safety first. Is this done differently for adults vs peds, thanks, wish me luck Friday.
Great question Zinc Man. You always want to check for scene safety if you are out in the field and someone collapses. There are times victims may collapse in the middle of the street. It is important to remove the victim and yourself out of a dangerous situation. There are stories where victims and rescuers were hurt performing CPR in a dangerous location. If you get hurt, then you are not going to be able to help anyone else or yourself. I hope that helps answer your question ☺️❤️
@@NurseCheung Ok, thanks
@@NurseCheung Well, girl! It's Friday; I'm good for another 2 years; Thanks for the info.
Nice 👍 thank
My pleasure Matrice Malveaux 😊💜 I glad my video was helpful
Can you explain why it is ok to give rescue breaths to an unresponsive choking INFANT even when you do not see the object, but not for a child or an adult??
Great question Roger Holmes. Where did you read that rescue breaths are not indicated for a child or an adult when there is a foreign airway obstruction?
@@NurseCheung in the provider manual and when I was in class they did not say anything about giving breaths to anyone but a choking infant. But also they did not state why it is ok to give breaths. Don’t you risk pushing the object further in? Especially if you have to tilt the head back? And also are you supposed to give breaths until the chest rises or just try it one time and then go back to compressions and then try breaths again?
Thank you
You are welcome Rudy Zamora 💜☺️
Hello, if a pt choked and is unconscious, we do cpr as per AHA but I’m wondering if we do rescue breathing wouldn’t it drive the fbao further down the airway?
Great question Marcial Bonifacio 😊💜 If the patient is unconscious and was choking prior, then you would perform CPR as the patient has most likely lost a pulse, but I would still follow the BLS algorithm to confirm no pulse is present. After a round of CPR, the algorithm would require you to turn the patient on their side and look in the mouth to see if the object is present. Never blind sweep in the person's mouth, as this can push the object back down, blocking the airway. I will also note that if you ask the person if they need help and they gesture that they do not want help, do not touch the person as this can be considered battery if you are sued. Once the person becomes unconscious, consent is implied to save their life. I hope that helps answer your question. 😊
@@NurseCheung thank you very much for your reply
Nice
Thank you Janette Tolentino ☺️
Thanks a lot
I hope you passed your BLS certification like a boss Leah Musca ☺️❤️
I have a quick question. If I am the only person there after scene safety and activating emergency response, do I get the defibrillator then start chest compressions if I am alone?
Yes
Great question Abbagale Perez ☺️💜 I always recommend performing at least 1 round of high quality CPR (2 minutes) then you can obtain a defibrillator if you are alone. Especially if the arrest was not witnessed.
If the arrest is witnessed and you're alone, you get the defibrillator first.
If the arrest was not witnessed, you do 5 cycles of CPR, then retrieve the defibrillator. Bls instructor of over 7 years.
thanxx it helps....
I am glad jj ☺️❤️
@@NurseCheung you made it simple and understandable... Great work... ❤️❤️
Wait so is it 1 breath every 6 seconds (4:49), 2 breaths every 2 to 3 seconds, or 1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds (12:09)?
Great question Karina McLoughlin ☺️ For adults, the new 2020 Guidelines advise that we provide 1 breath every 6 seconds with or without an advanced airway as discussed in the 4:49 part of my video. For pediatrics, we provide 1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds. There was a typo on my slide for pediatric resuscitation; however, the breath count is listed from the 2015 to 2020 guidelines in the table on the slide.
@@NurseCheung Thank you for clarifying! :)
I’m studying I need renew mines been a while I hope pass class Friday
You got this Yeshiva Morales! Make sure you understand everything from this video and you will pass your test like a boss. ☺️💜
@@NurseCheung Thank you 💜
Hello.. how to to take online AHA BLS? Is there any link for that?
Great question Rajani Prasad. If you google American Heart Association BLS, you will find the AHA website. The online version of BLS is called Heartcode. Please Note: If you decide to take the Heartcode BLS online, you will still be required to go to an American Heart Association Training Center for skills verification. I hope that helps.
Tks 👍👍
My pleasure 😊💜
I got a 76 needed a 86 to pass
I am sorry to hear you didn't pass your Basic Life Support Exam Diego Munoz. Make sure you watch the video in its entirety and study the material. It is based on the most up to date 2020 guidelines 💜
@@NurseCheung I PASSED I GOT A 100 TODAY 😁
Heck yes Diego Munoz!!! 💜☺️ That's what I am talking about ☺️
I’m retaking my test in the morning
You got this Kelly Renfroe ☺️💜 Did you dominate the BLS exam?
Thank u. I have one doubt. Defibrilation initial dose 2j/kg what it means?
Great question Mumthasrassy Rassy ☺️ When you look at a defibrillator, you are going to see a button called energy select or some variation of that. This is how you are going to select your joules to provide during each shock for the patient when necessary. If you have a child who weights 20 kg then you are going to dial up the energy to 40 joules (2 joules x 20 kg = 40 joules). Each subsequent shock (4, 6, 8) will require more energy. Remember you never want to go above 10 joules/kg. ☺️💜
Thank u mam. But adult have 80kg or more first shock giving 160j right.then what about second and third shoke(4,6,8). In biphasic defib upto 200j.plss clarify this.
Kindly help me my bls is on Tuesday iam very thankful to you ihave some issues in my written exam can u give me aha 2020 bcqs? Or guide me Futher?
I am sorry I missed your BLS exam this Tuesday ☺️❤️ However, I am sure you rocked it ☺️
Please how can i get AHA certificate...
Obtaining an American Heart Association (AHA) certificate typically involves the following steps:
Choose the Desired Course: The AHA offers a range of courses, from Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare professionals to Heartsaver courses for the general public. You'll need to determine which certification is right for your needs.
Find an Authorized Training Center or Instructor: Use the AHA's "Find a Course" tool on their website to locate a training center or course near you.
Register for the Course: Once you've identified the right course and location, you'll need to register. Some courses may have online components, while others are entirely in-person.
Complete the Course: Depending on the course, this might involve online modules, in-person skill sessions, or a combination of both. Ensure you attend all required sessions and complete all modules.
Pass the Exam: After completing the course content, you'll typically have to pass an exam. This might include both a written component and a hands-on skills test.
Receive Your Certificate: Once you pass the exam, you will receive your AHA certification card. This can be a physical card, an eCard, or both, depending on the training center.
Stay Current: AHA certifications are valid for two years. To maintain your certification, you'll need to take a renewal or recertification course before your current certification expires.
It's essential to ensure that any course you take is an official AHA course if you want an AHA certification. Some other organizations offer similar training but are not affiliated with the AHA, so always check credentials.
Thanks

Its deFIB-rilater not deFIB-ulator @ 01:55
Tomato, Tomatoe 🤷🏻♀️
Mam any chance to take bls online certificate American heart association
Yes and no. The American Heart Association (AHA) offers BLS courses online with an in-person skills test component. You will still need to find a testing facility near you for skills check-offs so it is not 100% online. You can visit their website to find an authorized training center near you and register for the course. Just make sure to choose the "Blended Learning" option to complete the online portion before attending the in-person skills test. Good luck!
im Active 2022
Congratulations Adelina G Farias ☺️💜
2021?
Yes this is the update 2020 guidelines for the Basic Life Support ☺️💜 The information still applies in 2021
