    5.0 out of 5 stars Best price for this manual
    Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Needed this manual to renew my BLS certification. The American Heart Association suggests 3 sources to purchase this item; all charged ridiculous shipping. Paying $7.95 shipping for an $11.00 book? FREE ship at Amazon with super saver shipping. SWEET!! Anyway, the manual is awesome, everything you need to know to get certified in Basic Life Support, and also excellent if you just want to learn how to provide CPR, use an automated external defibrillator, relieve a choking victim. The CD ROM is great for those who like the visual reinforcement of the text. BE AWARE-there are those out there selling the older manuals that do not reflect updates in practice. This is the most current version from 2006. I am guessing the committee will meet in the next couple of years to update if necessary.

    Good reference. I realized I had accidentally purchased the smaller booklet, not the soft cover textbook I had in mind. Either way, this booklet serves as a very informative reference card and explains most of the general concepts in lay terms and is a good accompanying piece to the actual text.

    3.0 out of 5 stars BLS for Healthcare Providers
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    The 2009 edition of this book was required for the BLS class I took before going into externship for a medical assisting program. We found out in class (which was for just one day) that the American Heart Association had come out with new procedures (this was back in June, 2011), mainly that you can now use just chest compressions without necessarily doing breaths. Our instructor gave us handouts and showed a new film. I guess if you can do the class with a few handouts, you probably don't absolutely need a book. Wish we had been informed before class so that we could get refunds. So this book is no longer useful if you're going to get BLS certification under the current guidelines.

    タイトル通り，英語さえ解かれば３倍以上もの値段がする日本語版を購入する
    理由はどこにもありません。

    さらに「解かる」といっても，中学校程度の英語理解力＋辞書を数回引く労力さえ
    惜しまなければ，だれにでも容易に理解できる内容のものです。

    内容はもちろん，AHA-BLS2010コースを受講するために必要かつ充分な解説が
    平易かつ簡潔な言葉で書かれていますので，2010BLSコースを受講する方達には
