Automated CPR Devices; Used To Provide Chest Compression during Cardiac Arrest
Automated CPR devices are medical devices that provide high-quality compression to the chest of patients suffering from sudden cardiac arrest to provide a steady flow of blood and oxygen to the brain and heart. CPR devices find application in emergency medical technician (EMT) rescue units, air medevac units, cardiac catheterization labs, coronary and intensive care units, ambulances, hospitals, and emergency medical services. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that can help save a person's life if their breath or heart stops. Its main purpose is to restore partial flow of the blood and oxygen to the heart and the brain. Mechanical CPR devices are automated CPR devices used to provide chest compression during cardiac arrest, without the need for human-performed manual compression. CPR involves a rhythmic push on the chest of a cardiac arrest victim to further increase blood flow. This can cause blood to flow to the vital organs of the victim while the...
