No, BLS should NOT be merged with CPR.
Basic Life Support is a level of prehospital medical care, the most that can be provided if paramedics, doctors or other advanced responders are unavailable.
CPR is just one of many techniques that can be useful in BLS.
I have tried to expand this article, with US and UK BLS guidelines and some references. I hope this is of some use. I feel that there probably still needs to be more depth and clarity in the introduction, which I will try to provide when I have more time. Gilo1969 ( talk) 22:16, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Basic life support (BLS) seems to be nothing more than first aid. As defined by the American Heart Association and the Resuscitation Council (UK) in the given citations, BLS is equivalent to "emergency first aid" in Canada and "basic first aid" in Australia. I suggest that encyclopedic content from this page be merged with the relevant sections of " First aid" and that " Basic life support" any any pages that redirect to it be redirected to " First aid" or a section thereof.

Hey Wikipedians. I'm focusing on this article to edit in my undergrad Technical and Professional editing course. Over the next couple weeks I plan on updating this page to follow Wikipedia's guidelines by
Once I get a draft in my sandbox going, I'll post it here. If there's anything you'd like me to know about this article going forward, let me know. Astrokassie ( talk) 17:25, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
@ Astrokassie: I have the same advice. If you make more smaller edits then it is easier for wiki reviewers to point to individual things you did for feedback. If you try making one big change then you and any reviewer would have to have additional conversation to point to what specifically is under discussion. WP:Be bold with many small edits and yes bring questions here to talk page. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:52, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi again. I am wanting to delete all of the steps that are listed ( WP:NOTHOWTO) because there are other pages (like Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) that do the job of explaining what doesn't need to be explained in detail here. I'm still working in the sandbox of what I would like the page to look like, but feel free to talk to me about what you think can be changed User:Astrokassie/sandbox2 . I'm not going to make any huge changes to this page all at once. Astrokassie ( talk) 18:34, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
Hey all, I think I've finished editing this article to what I think is enough. I mostly just reorganized the information that was already present. I don't have enough time to do some research and add any new tabs, but per WP:MEDMOS tab suggestions, I think there's room to add a section on "Society and Culture." Maybe talk about how some laypeople are hesitant to perform BLS because of the fear of legal action and discuss the Good Samaritan Law a little. Let me know what you all think.

Hey all, I just wanted to include a shock section under the indications portion of the article since it is covered under BLS protocol and there's a basic and passive procedure that can be carried out at the BLS level. Im working on the section right now but Ill include a paragraph and title once Im done with it. Stay tuned. Ailenilin ( talk) 22:20, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
