While a variety of applications exist to provide educational resources for teaching CPR and assistance tools for those who have already been educated in CPR, this application is a tool to provide untrained people with a guide on how to perform adequate CPR that can be followed-along-with during an emergency situation. This application was developed for and is currently being assessed at the UCSD School of Medicine through an IRB approved study for effectiveness at being able to coach untrained individuals through performing life-sustaining CPR. As the study is not complete and the application is currently for educational and demonstrational purposes only, not to be used in an emergency situation. The application also features instructions on when/how to perform the Heimlich maneuver and to administer Narcan to reverse an opioid overdose.

You’re going to have to fix this! I posted a comment rating this app poorly several months ago because it closed when I was doing a simulated scenario and this app. Several months later has still not been fixed and the app still closes. Please fix it. ### 3/5 — The app closed during simulated resuscitated patient. *2023-05-22* At first I thought the app was a decent app. But upon a prompt to administer Narcsn or the AED, and the continued CPR cycles, during the second or third cycle the app just CLOSES, thus making this app unusable! You’re going to have to fix this! ### 5/5 — Educational *2023-03-20* I just downloaded app and I’m quite impressed. Gives you step by step of what to do it someone is choking, not breathing, or is unresponsive. I was also happy to see that the makers of the app brought up Narcan incase of an opiate overdose. Giving the option to call 911 at the tip of your fingers is fantastic because sometimes people panic in an emergency. A+ and 5 stars from me. ### 4/5 — Add a end function *2023-03-20* Just a side note if you could have x in corner to get out of app. Or a “done” button for when 911 takes over. I couldn’t seem to get thru or stop the compressions. ### 5/5 — A MUST NEED!!!! *2023-03-10* life- changing & life-saving!!!! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2023-03-03* This app saved my brothers life. I hate to wait 10 seconds for it to start, he was about to die. But I couldn’t do it without the app. Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏 ### 5/5 — Informative *2022-11-28* Super-helpful APP. Great way to calm people down and follow visual and verbal instructions on how to perform CPR. THANK YOU for developing ### 5/5 — Dave B at UCSD *2022-11-09* This free app is made for anybody to use it as a must have an English phone. It runs you through the individual critical steps needed treat someone who might need CPR. The timing is set exactly the pace that you need to do all the CPR steps from trying to wake the patient up to calling 911 to starting chest compressions. The App was developed by an expert anesthesiologist. It is a lifesaver and can help you take care of any of your family or friends who might develop serious medical problems need CPR. Strongly recommend. ## Frequently asked questions about Rescue Me CPR! ### What is Rescue Me CPR! used for?
