COOL CPR TOOL
It’s a step by step instruction guide for CPR. On the spot! The little red wheel-looking gadget almost looks like a toy. But it may just be the next best thing to learning CPR.
This new medical device takes the guesswork out of CPR, and puts power in the hands of those ready to offer assistance.
It’s called the CPR RSQ assist device, and Dr. Robert Tober was a consultant on the product.
“It says to you who may not have had CPR,” said Tober, “Who may have had CPR two or three years ago and you don’t remember a thing that it’s pretty easy. 911. Stay calm.”
It’s pretty simple really—push the button and it offers instructions.
