Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Tenth Edition

Physio-Control's TrueCPR coaching device is a simple-to-use tool that accurately measures manual chest compressions and provides rescuers with high-quality feedback, in both real-time and following a resuscitation event, to optimize manual CPR performance. It utilizes new 3-D magnetic field technology—triaxial field induction—which has been shown to provide accurate CPR depth measurement and help guide rescuers to perform compressions of at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) of depth, meeting American Heart Association and European Resuscitation Council 2010 Guidelines.

Because you regularly respond to cardiovascular emergencies your knowledge and skills must be exceptional. The American Heart Association's dynamic ACLS course uses case-based scenarios to move beyond the algorithms and show you how to apply critical thinking to reach a differential diagnosis and effectively manage treatment. You are an active participant, sharing and learning from your peers. What you learn may save a life. Begin the challenge at heart.org/acls-ep.
