BCLS (BART)

I'm starting to see this "qualification" a lot under job openings. Is this the same this as Basic Life Support (BLS)?
Same thing.

I see you are from California.UCSD has come up with formal programs that many hospitals are already teaching to their staff but didn't have the letters established. These programs address what is not taught in BCLS and ACLS that is specific to the hospital situation. In fact, several hospitals teach their own version of "ACLS" and "BCLS" to their Code and Rapid Response teams rather than having their employees sit through an AHA class. The facilities are able to tailor their protocols with the special needs of their patients that might be encountered, the professionals available, the equipment and the pharmacology that is in their formulary. In hospital arrests may be know perfusion and hypotensive events rather than the assumed VF arrests in out of hospital situations. http://edr.ucsd.edu/Resuscitation_Program.htmBARTART - Advanced Resuscitation TrainingPhART - Pharmacology Advanced TrainingRAT - Respiiratory Advanced Training

PhART. Oh what joy in simple things!

It kinda scares me to think that some hospitals are "teaching their own thing". At least AHA has lots of research and evidence behind their guidelines. How would that play in court I wonder, if someone elected not to use the gold standard? What is BART? Never heard of it
