The AutoPulse is an automated chest compression device that uses an easy-to-use, load-distributing LifeBand to squeeze the entire chest in an uninterrupted ‘hands-free’ manner and also offers the benefit of freeing up clinicians to focus on other life-saving interventions.
Saint Barnabas Medical Center Emergency Medicine chairman Christopher Freer said that the AutoPulse is useful in Code Blue situations since it is easy to apply and fit to the patient and can also be used for substantial amounts of time to deliver steady, proper chest compressions without rescuer fatigue, something that cannot be achieved with manual CPR.
Zoll president Jonathan Rennert said that they are pleased that Saint Barnabas recognises the value AutoPulse can provide in improving patient care and survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
“Being able to provide consistent, high-quality chest compressions during code situations, while freeing up clinical staff to attend to other critical needs, is vitally important, especially when every second counts,” Rennert said.
