Zoll Autopulse - Automatic CPR



Computer technology automatically sizes the chest and determines the size of the patient which determines depth of the autopulse compressions.

Allows for 30:2 (30 compressions and two breaths) cycles or allows for continuous compressions.

Autopulse provides 100% blood flow to heart and brain, regular manual CPR moves less than 50% blood flow to heart and brain.

Can perform CPR while going up and down stairs, won't tire the rescuer (CPR can really take it out of you!), allows rescuer to do other treatments such as checking blood glucose (sugar level in blood), take blood pressure, run fluids through IV, treat wounds, and prepare patient for transport.

Cost for one of these bad boys can be around $10,000 to $15,000.
