Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / IV medications
Spanish term or phrase: BLS
This abbreviation comes in a list of medications administered to a patient hospitalized for chest pain.

The sentence says:

"Cloruro de sodio (SSN 0.9%) Sol. Iny. Bolsa x500ml (BLS).

SSN=solucion salina normal
Sol. Iny. = solución inyectable

What does BLS stand for, and how would we say it in English?

TIA!
