Recent research has shown that continuous Compression Only CPR can be effective in caring for a person with no signs of life when a rescuer is unable, untrained or unwilling to perform full CPR.

First Aid and CPR for Everyone: An Introduction to Lifesaving Skills was developed in response to this research. The product allows the public who are unable, or unwilling, to take formal training to become familiar with life-saving information.

First Aid and CPR for Everyone is not intended to substitute for a formal training course. This product was designed to provide consumers an educational overview of valuable first aid and CPR information and skills.

The product consists of a specially-developed compression practice tool and hand placement diagram. The compression practice tool has been engineered to give you, the user, the opportunity to become familiar with hand placement and compressions without using a standard manikin.

What do you get for $9.95?
