The ECCU 2017 theme is "A Call to Action… And All that Jazz. Saving More Lives through Quality CPR, Implementation and Collaboration."
The key to improved survival outcomes following cardiac arrest is high-quality implementation of CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care guidelines across all systems of care in every community. At ECCU 2017, collaboration will occur among citizens, communities, and organizations. We encourage you to take part in ECCU 2017 by sharing your ideas, strategies and training tips with a presentation and/or a poster submission.

Bystander CPR Saves Lives
Little Anne® QCPR includes objective feedback and measurement technology to take the guesswork out of instruction. Using Bluetooth Smart technology, Little Anne® QCPR can connect with a feedback application downloaded to a smartphone or tablet. The manikin can be used with an Instructor App, which provides a performance overview and monitoring of up to six manikins at once, and a Learner App, which allows students to monitor their own individual performance. Both apps are free downloads. Little Anne® QCPR can also provide feedback via a tethered SkillGuide device.
