2. CPR Right NOW (Lifesaver)Sudden cardiac arrests happen every day, many of them out of hospital. In the UK, just one in ten people survive. One day, you might witness someone collapse and stop breathing in your home or when you’re out in public – and you could be the only person there who can help them.
At time of publication more than 2 million people have used Lifesaver to learn CPR skills, how to use an AED to help someone in cardiac arrest, and what to do when someone is choking. Lifesaver is free and is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play. You move your device up and down to the CPR. It’s a great way to learn the skills you need to save a life.
