Pulsar CPR
Main features:
- one click to start the assistant
- heart pulses demonstrate the recommended chest compression frequency
- a beep sound indicates when the chest compression should be performed
- chest compression counter restarts to suggest the rescue breath
- shows elapsed time from the start of CPR
- call an ambulance button
- after confirmation initiates a call to the ambulance (on the speaker phone)
Configuration:
- pulse frequency and chest compression counter restarts can be configured to allow for CPR for adults/children
- the default configuration applies for adults: 100 pulses per minute, rescue breath every 30 pulses
- ambulance phone number
- 112 by default but can be easily changed to country specific number e.g. 911

Easy to set up, beeps to keep chest compression rhythm, notes start time and duration automatically ~ if you keep it running. It doesn't prompt breaths after the cpr cycle, it just continues to the next cpr cycle. It should either talk and say ventilate, ventilate at an appropriate pace, then continue; or stop and allow you to resume manually. It doesn't allow either.
It doesn't pause for the two ventilations and that could alter the number of compressions you do after the first cycle. Please add a pause for ventilations!
Really good app the only trouble is if your doing CPR you'll probably be on your phone to the emergency services. Would it be possible to make the app work on smartwatch i.e. the Samsung Galaxy watch?
Works as a good metronome. Ignore the people talking about the pause for ventilation, as it has been proven that it dosent help as much as thought, and actually slows done the preassure being built from cpr.
Only testing it now but seems to bre the easiest one I've tested so far. Even for us paramedics.
Best app, but its not calling when call button pressed.👍👍
There's no pause after 30 compressions for ventilation
Doc here and 118 volunteer ( operator ) Wonderful app to keep the rythm . If you are alone and have no mask for the oxygen in your hands , keep the heart beating , forget about the ventilation . If you want to ventilate keep count and alarm the person next to you to make 2 ventilations . Mos of the time people make mistakes while ventilating . If the air does not go in do not stop . It is not as important as to keep the heart beating .
doesn't pause for ventilations.
does not pause to allow breathing.
Not over complicated
It would be good if it didn't skip numbers. I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but no. I set it to 120 BPM and the compression counter actually consistently skips numbers once or twice every 30 beats (for example, goes from 10 to 12)
Good app to use for a CPR metronome. It I'd auditory and visual, which helps in high noise environments. I just wish it could be paused for Rescue breathing and I wish it had a log/diary function.
Good basic tool. For most people, compressions only CPR has become the norm. The thought is that if rescuers can remember one thing in crisis mode it would be most beneficial if it was good compressions and timing. For more advanced CPR providers, and/or rescues where more than one person is on scene who is a trained first responder, rescue breathes between compressions is preferable. It would be good to have a preference setting for either style.
