laerdal SkillGuide User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user guide for the Laerdal SkillGuide, Little Anne QCPR, and Little Junior QCPR devices. This guide explains how to use the SkillGuide for real-time CPR feedback, featuring modes like Feedback, Blind, and Debrief. I understand how it provides compression scores, ventilation scores, and session summaries. I'm ready to assist you with any questions you have about the device.
  • How do I start a session?
    How do I reset the session timer?
    What does Feedback Mode show?
    What does Debrief mode show?
    What is compression fraction?
