Movie Reviews of Infant & Child CPR
Movie Review: Decent DVD - Good To Know
Summary: 4 Stars
This dvd is a good review for the medical provider and a good overview for the layperson. I suggest every family with infants/children watch a DVD or tape like this yearly or take a class. I do know the guidelines may have changed a little bit since the DVD was made, so what I did was print out easy to follow CPR and choking directions and hung them in an easy to reach place in the kitchen for everyone - but I did make my whole family watch this and will keep it around for the future.Movie Review: useful and concise
Summary: 4 Stars
While I wouldn't advocate relying on a DVD to replace Red Cross CPR training, it was a perfect refresher for me (trained <5 years ago) and enough to make me feel more comfortable with babysitters after they viewed it. It gives all the necessary steps in a clear (if not a little cheesy) way and is concise enough not to bore you to tears.Movie Review: Tell me there is something better out there
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, I am a stay at home mom who does not have time for a CPR class but would like to learn how. So you think a DVD like this would be perfect. First off it is a bit confusing and lengthy. They don't do a good job of teaching you in a way that you can remember. I actually think I have already forgot everything I learned from watching it. ALSO, I am not sure how current this type of CPR I learned is. I would recommend researching it a bit further than I did.Movie Review: Really poorly produced
Summary: 2 Stars
It's unfortunately that this is the only DVD on the market that covers such an important topic. I took an infant CPR and safety class at Mass. General Hospital, but thought my family would benefit from the knowledge, so I ordered this DVD and watched it with them. I was very disappointed by the quality of this DVD, or rather the lack thereof. So were my family. The program is extremely short. The chapter on CPR was something like 1 minute long, and the next chapter on infant choking was no longer than five minutes, probably much less. The treatment of such important topics was cursory at best. It was obvious to me that the DVD was made with one express purpose: to make money off anxious parents.
Like I said in the beginning, knowing infant CPR is *very* important, because even though infants very rarely stop breathing on their own, they do face a high risk of choking when they are 5-6 months or older, so knowing what to do in a bad situation (before 911 help arrives) is of paramount importance. But this DVD is too poorly produced. You should watch it at least 5 times to understand exactly what to do. The material is there, it's just very poorly presented.
BTW, as with many baby care DVDs, this is available on Netflix as well as at many local public libraries that stock educational DVDs. Good luck!
Movie Review: Infant and Child CPR What Every Parent Should Know DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
Excellent information except for one thing, it does not follow American Heart Association 2006 guidelines for breath and compression ratio. Supposed to be 2 breaths to 30 compressions. This video teaches 1 breath to 5 compressions.
