## What is Resuscitate! CPR AED & Choking?

Developed as a public service by leading physicians and educators in emergency care at the University of Washington and King County EMS, the Resuscitate application provides instant information on how to perform CPR, operate four commonly available Automated External Defibrillators (AED) and how to aid a choking victim. These are short video demonstrations (about 1 minute) and are compatible with the latest recommendations from the major international resuscitation organizations including the American Heart Association and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). 

This application is not a substitute for proper training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, AED or choking aid but it is very useful for a quick review. We urge everyone to receive formal instruction in CPR/AED and how to assist a choking victim--being trained may help you save a life. More information on CPR/AED and choking aid may be found at learncpr.org and learnaed.org. 

The videos were produced with the assistance of the University of Washington, the Life Sciences Discovery Fund, the Medic One Foundation, King County Emergency Medical Services, the Seattle Fire Department, the Laerdal Foundation for Acute Medicine and the Heart Rescue Medtronic Foundation. They, like us are convinced that teaching these life saving techniques to as many people as possible will save lives. 

Go ahead. Download the app, share it with your friends, help people get trained.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.1801201549 — 2018-01-23

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Added Spanish (automatic according to the language your phone is using)

### 2.1 — 2017-10-30

iOS 11 compatibility

### 2.0.1 — 2012-08-29

Changed the name, it's not just for iPad anymore! Fixed AirPlay related crash in very old versions of the operating system (iOS versions 4.0-4.2 that don't support AirPlay no longer have the option)

### 2.0.0 — 2012-08-08

Added four new videos that demonstrate operation of the most common Automated External Defibrillators from Cardiac Science, Philips, Physio Control and Zoll. Refreshed the artwork too!

NOTE: This update adds AED videos and is somewhat larger in size--the CPR and Choking aid videos are unchanged.

### 1.2.0 — 2011-01-04

New CPR videos that incorporate the latest guidelines issued by the American Heart Association (Oct 2010). The most prominent change is from A-B-C (airway, breathing, chest compressions) to C-A-B (chest compressions first, then airway and breathing). 

From the AHA Executive Summary (http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/122/18_suppl_3/S640): "The newest development in the 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC is a change in the basic life support (BLS) sequence of steps from "A-B-C" (Airway, Breathing, Chest compressions) to "C-A-B" (Chest compressions, Airway, Breathing) for adults and pediatric patients (children and infants, excluding newly borns). Although the experts agreed that it is important to reduce time to first chest compressions, they were aware that a change in something as established as the A-B-C sequence would require re-education of everyone who has ever learned CPR." 

Be sure to maintain proper training as there are other important changes to the guidelines in addition to C-A-B.
