Q: Is there research to show that this method of teaching CPR is effective? A: Yes, published research has shown that users of CPR Anytime performed CPR as well as students taking the 2005 (pre-Guidelines) version of the Heartsaver CPR course (assessed by recording manikin). CPR Anytime users also performed equally well when using the kit: on their own, with facilitation from a peer, or with facilitation from an AHA-certified BLS instructor. Q: What is the difference between Infant CPR Anytime and a traditional Infant CPR course? A: Both Infant CPR and classroom-based Family & Friends CPR (infant module) teach the “core skills” of CPR: recognizing the emergency, calling 911, breathing for the victim (ventilations), pushing on the chest (compressions), and relieving choking.

The traditional program takes approximately 1½ hours and is conducted in a classroom-style setting. Q: Is Infant CPR Anytime a credentialed course?

A: No, the Infant CPR Skills Practice DVD for the infant kit does not include information about AEDs because the AHA makes no recommendation for or against the use of AEDs on infants younger than 1 year of age.
