Voice Prompter Aids CPR Responders

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 10 Jul 2006
New voice-prompting devices save lives by talking students and trained responders through every step of adult, child, and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in real-time.

The CPR Prompt audio rescue devices, made by Nasco (Fort Atkinson, WI, USA), are portable, microchip-controlled voice prompters that let the rescuers interact and respond to each unique emergency. More...
A "Pause” key allows them to stop and restart the sequence in about the same place. In some procedures, the unit jumps back further, repeating more phrases to provide extra time for key steps. Instructions are provided for CPR and rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth breathing) for each age group (adult, child, or infant). The voice prompters come in either full size or a pocket/key-chain version and work on regular batteries. Another voice prompt informs the user when batteries are low and need to be changed. Since the devices use digital chip technology for high-quality speech, voice quality is maintained.

CPR Prompt devices are approved by the International Guidelines for CPR and ECC, which state that the use of audio and visual CPR performance aids during training can improve the acquisition of psychomotor skills and that the use of these devices should be considered in areas where CPR is performed infrequently.
