StartnHart vs AHA ESLS

This app will learn you how to perform Basic Life Support (BLS) with or without the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The app contains instructional videos with on-screen text or audio and has been developed for use in a peer learning environment: while one learner is performing BLS or AED, the other learner is watching the video and providing his or her partner with constant performance-related feedback. The app also has an assessment module to check your partner’s competence in BLS and/or AED. The app has been developed for laypeople as well as professionals in the domain of health care and is evidence-based.

The ESLS virtual simulation is a required component to complete the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s ESLS eLearning Provider Course. This online course offers Continuing Education (CE) credits and is designed to enhance stroke recognition knowledge, which will boost the competencies of healthcare professionals who may not manage stroke patients on a regular basis. Developed in conjunction with The University of Miami’s Gordon Center for Simulation and Innovation in Medical Education and Laerdal Medical, this evidence-based course features virtual patient simulations that will help providers test their knowledge of early stroke recognition and initial management for patients with stroke.
