Basic Life Support, & General References

• Bruce Steinbach & Tom Hall have an online course in CPR , including the obstructed airway and one-rescuer CPR in both adults & children.
• The CPR page of the American Heart Association Web Site is fairly reasonable. The site as a whole appears fairly well designed, with minimal garbage. Their emergency care page includes in depth information and advisory Statements of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. This is comprehensive and excellent. Overall, many of the AHA pages seem designed for the "health care consumer".
  There is also extensive information on heart disease. There are some CPR statistics here too.
• The American heart Association has a second site with scientific statements (some of which concern CPR &c).
• The Global Health Network has a list of medical net resources which may be of some general use, and there is a section on disasters and emergencies.
• The NEJM editorial on television CPR is well worth reading.

Stuff we personally wouldn't rush off to see

• Extremely basic CPR stuff at the heartinfo site {quite a few cardiac references here, too}
• Also some CPR at Health at Home
• Health answers has limited information on infant CPR
• And here's even information about canine CPR on the Web!
• American Health & safety has a little very basic information for general consumption, and will try & sell you things.
• You may find some stuff on Paediatric CPR at the American Academy of Paediatrics search page, but you will have to look hard.
• Have a look at the University of North Alabama's American-style pocket guide, which supplements the Red Cross's six simple steps.
• More CPR basics, from the Harlingen Community Emergency Care Foundation.
• The American Institute of Preventive Medicine has a tiny page on Amherst College EMS page
• Vaguely reasonable stuff at e.g. Canadian Red Cross branches. (with a few links to other Red Cross Societies)
• You can obtain the table of contents for the journal "Resuscitation" but you won't find any actual articles.
• The Interuniversity Cardiology Institute of the Netherlands has a small list of references pertaining to CPR.
• "Heartsounds" have provided tiny excerpts from the AHA recommendations, and have a lot more besides. Much of this pushes their courses.
• Advanced Lifecare Systems has an advertising page that shows a fair number of products, etc.
• Basic stuff for ordinary people at openseason.com -An Interactive Health Information & Health Insurance Site. They also sell things.
• (For Americains, there is a list of CPR classes by state).
• The pretentiously named "Home page of cardiopulmonary resuscitation" has one of the silliest home pages I've ever seen with a 147K logo on the home page, and broken links too! We haven't pointed to this front page - find it if you're a masochist. One document on teaching CPR is of some use.
• The global health disaster network seems a bit of a disaster itself, with numerous broken links (when we looked). It has a long list of disaster related networks, etc.
