The International English (IVE) version of the Basic Life Support (BLS ) Provider Manual is adapted for training outside the United States and Canada. IVE training materials have been updated to include metric units of measure and other references that do not apply to students in the U.S. and Canada.       

The BLS Provider Manual contains all of the information students need to know to successfully complete the BLS Course . The BLS Provider Manual is designed for use by a single user and as a student reference tool pre- and post-course. It includes information on single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for application in both in-facility  and prehospital settings; emergency recognition; adult, child and infant rescue techniques; high-quality CPR; AED use; and relief of choking.

Please note, there is a separate supplementary tool included, the BLS Digital Reference Card. This is the electronic equivalent of the BLS Reference Card, and will be automatically included with the purchase of the BLS Provider Manual eBook.

Note : Prior to purchasing an AHA eBook for a classroom-based course, students should check with their Instructor or Instructor’s Training Center Coordinator to ensure that mobile devices will be allowed in the classroom.
