iCPR: Download cardio-pulmonary resuscitation instructions to your Apple or Google smart phones
King County’s Emergency Medical Services has created one-minute training videos that can be downloaded to your Apple iPod Touch phone or Google phone on how to provide cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and what to do if someone is choking .
“If people know CPR and choke aid procedures, they use them in an emergency. We developed a phone application to tap into a younger, more tech-savvy audience with tools that could literally save a life,” said Dr. Mickey Eisenberg, Medical Director for King County Emergency Medical Services.
“We continue to urge everyone to receive formal instruction in CPR and how to assist a choking victim. These video applications are an important way to learn, review and refresh these critical skills,” he said.
To download the applications:
