Hi, I’m Justin and I’m a trainer with the Singapore First Aid Training Centre.
I had a great chinese child care class last weekend. The vibe is high, class is responsive and received good energy from the crowd.
So a child care teacher asks me a very interesting question.
She says “In the old days, when a child is choking, her mom simply blows some breath onto the forehead of the choking child, and the choking symtoms just disappear. Is that true?” I told her that it is just a myth.
Blowing onto the forehead doesn’t help in relieving choking. Rather, a proper abdominal thrust or chest thrust is needed to be rendered to someone who is choking.
We did a lot of product testing before, but none comes close to a product that takes CPR to the next level.
In real CPR, you will never EVER know exactly how much you are compressing and most of it is guesswork. That is bad because without really knowing if you are pressing deep enough or quick enough, your CPR may not be optimum. CPR at its’ best will deliver ONLY about 30% of circulation!!! So there is no room for mistakes or inaccuracy. That is why it is imparative to use a CPR feedback device.
But not just any CPR feedback device. You need a device which can provide you with an accurate (only about 10% inefficiency) and reliable feedback. A product which adds value could also be one that provides other benefits, such as better recoiling mechanism (or spring return, like how we call it). Chest recoil is important because it ensures good “refilling” of the heart and not many CPR devices help ensure that. And if the CPR feedback device is can help reduce risks of injuries and trauma associated with CPR, it may further improve results.
After reviewing all the products available, we found only 1 product that provides all these benefits – CPREzy. CPREzy may look bulky or strange at first, but once you start using it, you will quickly discover how it can benefit during real rescue. For example, when you first use the CPREzy, the first thing you will notice is how weak your compressions are BEFORE using the CPREzy and how you can immediately correct yourself and perform good compressions almost instantly.
Plus CPREzy is priced much lower than most CPR Devices, making it one of the most cost effective products of its kind in the market. CPREzy wins hands down.
Check out what our participant has to say about CPREzy:
Preventing injuries during CPR, performing good compressions, correct compression rates… All these go a long way in increasing the victim’s chances of survival. Unfortunately, most people do not do any of these 3 important factors right.
That is why when we heard about CPREzy, we were just so excited about what it can do – and the number of lives it can potentially save. So what is CPREzy?
CPREzy is a simple, rectangular device which you place on the person’s chest where you would place your hands during CPR. Now it may seem like it looks a little flimsy or hard to use at first, but after a couple of compressions on the CPREzy, you’ll find it very easy to use.
The CPREzy has indicator lights which tells you how deep you need to press for different sized victims. For example, for a smaller sized victim you may only need to press at the level of about 2 indicator lights. For a bigger victim, 3-4 indicator lights would be sufficient. This means that you don’t have to keep guessing whether you’re doing good enough or not. You can SEE whether you’re doing good enough or not. Cool huh?
Besides that, we found that this feature also helps you to maintain consistency in your compressions. Well, its a fact that CPR is tiring and we lose some steam after a while. So you can actually tell when you are not compressing enough and can either “buck up” or get someone else to replace you. Also, using CPREzy keeps the pressure only on the sternum and not on the ribs. So it prevents injuries to the ribs as well.
2 out of 3. How about the compression rate? We all know that compression rates are important – if you’re either too slow or too fast, you don’t get good circulation moving. Good circulation can be maintained if compressions are done at a rate of 100 beats per minute. So to resolve this important problem, the makers of CPREzy has included a “metronome” like feature. The beeping audio will beep consistently at 100 beats per minute, giving rescuers a guide to follow. Great stuff!
With tons of studies and testimonials to back it up, CPREzy is truly a revolutionary tool for all rescuers. We’re making it our product of the month! When it comes to saving lives, let’s make it EAZIER! For enquiries on CPREzy, contact SingAsia Medical at 65360995.
