The Canadian Red Cross has launched a free first-aid app that has diagrams and instructions on how to treat various wounds and how to react in different emergencies. The app, “First Aid by the Canadian Red Cross”, does not replace taking a first aid course, but the pictures and videos help users to understand the basics on how to perform CPR, stabilize a broken bone, perform abdominal thrusts when someone is choking and more.
