        Site of the Day for Tuesday, September 11, 2007 

        Learn CPR

Today's site, from the University of Washington School of Medicine, offers
instructional, illustrated guides on how to perform CPR -- cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. Gentle Subscribers will find step-by-step directions
suitable for use for different types of potential victims.

"Can I kill someone if I do CPR incorrectly? No. Remember the person in
cardiac arrest is already clinically dead. CPR can only help. Even if it's
not done 'letter perfect' it will probably provide some benefit to the
victim. ... Learn the basics of CPR. ... This web site is to be used as a
free guide and an informational resource, but it cannot replace real CPR or
first aid training. " - from the website

The site's CPR guides cover adults, children, and infants, in printable and
video formats. In addition, the often overlooked instructions for
performing life-saving procedures on cats and dogs are also available.
Included in the presentation are first aid guides for choking but still
conscious adults, children and infants, while an excellent FAQ provides
facts -- such as how to determine if CPR is working -- general information
and the history of CPR.
