"Hermann Emergency Medical Services (EMS) now has a portable CPR trainer that is used for learning and practice and they want to share it with businesses, schools, churches and county officials—anyone that wants to learn how to save a life using the CPR technique.
"EMS Paramedic Mike Mueller says the unit plays like a video game, giving real-time feedback on the user’s skill. He says research shows five minutes of CPR training on a unit similar to the one he built, is equivalent to 30 minutes of classroom training, so it’s an easy shortcut to learn CPR. “You’ll learn about the depth of compression and the rate of compression,” he says. “Our goal is to use chest compressions (depress the sternum area by two inches for each compression, 100 to 120 per minute), to circulate blood to the vital organs—specifically the heart and the brain—in an attempt to get the heart restarted where it can beat on its own.”' ~ Advertiser-Courier
