| Don't Let CPR Be Forgotten
Are you aware that only one-half of cardiac arrest
victims require the electrical shock or "zap"
that makes for compelling drama on television? What
all victims need is the much less dramatic, yet no
less important, intervention of CPR (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation). CPR is a vital skill for first responders
and trained lay rescuers. Unfortunately, with all
the emphasis on the shock, AEDs haven't offered the
much-needed guidance and assistance for administering
CPR. Until now.
The new ZOLL
AED Plus revolutionizes the way cardiac
arrest victims are treated. The AED Plus is
the only AED to incorporate instantaneous CPR
Feedback, providing audio and visual cues to
help prevent the two most common errors of CPR:
inadequate depth and inadequate rate. The AED
Plus delivers voice prompts including "push
harder" and "good compression,"
while its adaptive metronome leads the rescuer
to the recommended 100-compressions-per-minute
rate.
Surprisingly, most people trained in CPR - even medical
pros - may forget the skills they've learned, which
can lead to improper or inadequate CPR. Empowering
potential rescuers with AEDs
that are easy to use
and offer guidance and feedback for CPR
is the best
way to help all victims of cardiac arrest.
Ten out of ten
victims of sudden cardiac arrest require CPR.
Only five of ten require electrical shock. That's
why every victim benefits from an AED with CPR
Feedback.
