Look in the Google Play Store and you will see that there are hundreds of Android Apps in the Medical category – some Medical Apps are useful for students and professionals in the field and others provide useful information for any individual. Some Apps are more for educational purposes, others offer how-to-videos, and still others are for first aid – from Babies to Adults. Medical Apps have increased in quality the past couple of years and the ones we suggest here can really provide the user with some quality and helpful information.

CPR-Choking
CPR-Choking – is an App offers instant videos on how to perform CPR and how to help a choking victim. The App was developed by leading educators and doctors and follows the latest recommendations…From the AHA Executive Summary:
“The newest development in the 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC is a change in the basic life support (BLS) sequence of steps from “A-B-C” (Airway, Breathing, Chest compressions) to “C-A-B” (Chest compressions, Airway, Breathing) for adults and pediatric patients (children and infants, excluding newly borns). Although the experts agreed that it is important to reduce time to first chest compressions, they were aware that a change in something as established as the A-B-C sequence would require re-education of everyone who has ever learned CPR.”
