BABY & CHILD CPR: CPR & Choking Instruction For Infants and Children (Birth to 8 years) description
Billed as a "must see" for every parent and caregiver, this no-nonsense tutorial teaches step by step lifesaving techniques for use on infants and on children through age 8. In a calm, professional manner, Dr. Kathryn Moyer provides basic information necessary to keep a child alive until emergency medical help arrives. Part I covers CPR and choking techniques for infants, including how to perform back blows and chest thrusts and when to call 911. Part II details similar procedures for older children, and includes a thorough explanation of the Heimlich maneuver. To reinforce the lessons, material is presented through spoken instruction, visual demonstrations on a dummy, and lastly, as text across the screen. While the concepts may be difficult to grasp after a single showing, it is an excellent tool when viewed regularly as a refresher course or in conjunction with a CPR class.
