The main objective of the BLSD course is to acquire the cognitive and methodological tools and skills necessary to recognize, in an adult patient, unconsciousness, respiratory arrest and absence of pulse in a condition of absolute safety for the rescuer, for the rescued person and for bystanders. In order to intervene effectively, it is necessary to optimize the intervention time, to standardize and order the evaluations to be carried out and the actions to be taken within the so-called chain of survival.
