High-quality CPR Without Interruption
The AutoPulse® Resuscitation System provides high-quality automated CPR to victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Easy to use and battery operated, the AutoPulse squeezes the patient’s entire chest to improve blood flow to the heart and brain.1,2,3 The only device of its kind, the AutoPulse automatically sizes to the patient, and has shown improved outcomes in numerous clinical trials.4,5
The AutoPulse is an automated, portable, battery-powered chest compressor, which provides chest compressions as an adjunct to performing manual CPR (see Figure 1-1). Use of the AutoPulse is intended to reduce the impact of rescuer fatigue and will enable the rescuer to address additional patient needs.
The AutoPulse has the following operating parameters:
-
Chest displacement: equal to 20% reduction in anterior-posterior chest depth.
-
Consistent compression rate and depth.
-
Physiological duty cycle: fixed at 50 ± 5%.
-
Standardized 30:2, or 15:2 compressions (30 or 15 compressions followed by two consecutive 1.5 second ventilation pauses) or continuous compressions (user selectable).
