This application is not a substitute for proper training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, AED or choking aid but it is very useful for a quick review. We urge everyone to receive formal instruction in CPR/AED and how to assist a choking victim--being trained may help you save a life. More information on CPR/AED and choking aid may be found at learncpr.org and learnaed.org.
The videos were produced with the assistance of the University of Washington, the Life Sciences Discovery Fund, the Medic One Foundation, King County Emergency Medical Services, the Seattle Fire Department, the Laerdal Foundation for Acute Medicine and the Heart Rescue Medtronic Foundation. They, like us are convinced that teaching these life saving techniques to as many people as possible will save lives.
Go ahead. Download the app, share it with your friends, help people get trained.
I love this app. Unfortunately it doesn't have CPR or Choking for animals. I have three dogs and I would like to know how to perform the above on them in case of an emergency.
The one problem I have with this is the CPR. I was so disappointed I didn't continue on. 3 things are most important, ABC's Airway- is it open or occluded? Breathing - Are they breathing? Circulation - do they have a pulse... Checked at the carotid artery. Something this application totally missed. Would you start compressions on a person with a pulse. Children less the 50. The rest of the video was ok. Pulse means the heart is pumping. Support breathing. ABC's are the key. Basic BLS
Great areas for review, but the videos are not playing. CPR is needed for this app and more testing before release
I work in the ED and actually am PALS, ACLS, CPR certified. These videos are pretty good. This info can be very informative to non medical people, one can for sure start compressions until help arrives. I would give this app 5 stars if it had audio. Maybe its just a mishap with download, dont know. Please fix!
Every time I choose the CPR menu option, the app crashes. Hope nobody dies from this.
Used it once. It played a video for CPR. Then the second time I went to it to show a friend, in case I needed CPR, it went to a black blank screen. Not very good. Too bad.
