Gifts also include a First Aid and CPR for Everyone: an Introduction to Basic Lifesaving training kit. Recent research has shown that continuous Compression Only CPR can be effective in caring for a person with no signs of life when a rescuer is unable, untrained or unwilling to perform full CPR. First Aid and CPR for Everyone: An Introduction to Lifesaving Skills was developed in response to this research. The product allows the public who are unable, or unwilling, to take formal training to become familiar with life-saving information. The kit costs $9.95 and includes a compression practice tool & hand placement diagram, instruction DVD, Emergency Action Steps wallet card, and Emergency First Aid Guide.
