Dixie EMS CPR Cardiac Board Plastic Spineboard CPR Aid, 23.75" x 16.25" x 2.75

The criteria for evaluating a purchase from Amazon is always an utmost standard of integrity. This begins with the seller truth-in-telling, the listing being a thorough and accurate representation of what is received and the manufacturing of the product meeting or exceeding good quality expectations. Interpreting this by assigning "stars" can be misleading. So I either recommend a product or I don't. The item I receive must be protectively shipped arriving in brand new condition, no damages or items being prior returns resold. The manufacturer's packaging should be substantial for handling and storing while intelligently presenting the item in full color photos with dialog expressing the features and benefits and overview of use to guide fair use expectations. Not just content thrown in non-descript generic bags or boxes. The product design should be intuitively clear regarding "how-to" and contain enough English-correct instructions to promise ease of use with all its features. We need to be happy we bought it, and not care whose responsibility it is for whatever failure destroys our shopping experience. I'm not in the mood to meter forgiveness because it was not the seller, it was Amazon, or not Amazon it was the manufacturer, or not the manufacturer it was delivery services. I don't want to manage and decipher the experience, I just want to enjoy it. It is a tall-order and why I only shop Amazon, because they promise to uphold this high-bar of customer satisfaction. This item hits this high mark. I can absolutely recommend it.

As the description says, this is a compression board, not a backboard. I got this to fill in a gap in my EMS kit.While I am no longer an active EMT, I want to be prepared in case I need to perform compressions on a soft/uneven surface.The build and design are similar to the board we carried on the fire truck, though I don’t much care for the shape/placement of the head/neck cutout.If you care for someone bed-bound, or if you have reason to be cpr/first aid certified, this is small and well built enough to be worth keeping with your kit.

This is a compression board and great if you need to administer CPR to someone on a soft surface. The board is top rate and could be used at home or in a professional setting. The materials are durable and provide for a solid backing on uneven, rough or soft terrain. Easy to handle and ready to go.

This is my weirdest review, because USPS LOST this in the mail and Amazon is cancelling the order... but I need to clear this off of my review que and don't want to downgrade an excellent product (I have one at work, and wanted one for my own medical kit). So I'm basing this review off the one I have access to.This board is rock solid, and provides an excellent support for CPR. It's smaller size makes it easy to store, and for 1 person to manipulate it into place. It has just enough texture to prevent it from slipping, but not so much that you have to fight it when placing it.Again, USPS lost the one I ordered, so I'm going to have to order another, and in my opinion, if you ever need this, it's completely worth it.

It's weird to review a potentially life-saving device but if you are reading this you deserve to know that this one will work. It can make a huge difference to have a steady surface to do life saving techniques on. Everyone should have one of these in their car and also know how to use it. Make sure you get first aid certified at least once in your life. This is super thick durable plastic and very lightweight. Even if you don't know how to give CPR someone else might and they might benefit from having the proper tools for it. do some good, keep one of these around
