CPR Support

The major benefit of the AED Plus? The best possible support for a rescuer who is trying to save a life. The best AED is not one that is as simple as possible. It's the AED that provides the best support during the rescue.

Research shows that half of all rescues begin with a heart analysis that tells the rescuer "no shock advised." Once you hear this, CPR is the only hope for the ill or injured person. If you do high-quality CPR, you may get to push that shock button. Will your AED help you do the most effective CPR you can do? If it's not from ZOLL, it's blind and cannot tell you if your compressions are deep enough.

ZOLL believes that an AED that works needs to both provide a shock and support CPR. AEDs that can't see your CPR can't really help improve your CPR. 

When is high-quality CPR needed most? Right after a shock has been delivered! The most important thing CPR does is deliver oxygenated blood to the heart. A heart that has just been shocked but is not receiving blood from CPR may not make it. Shocking without CPR is like trying to start a car with a good battery, but no gas in the tank. Once you turn the key, it needs gas. In a rescue, once the shock is delivered, CPR provides the gas.

Chance of Survival from Cardiac Arrest

The AHA's 2010 Guidelines (pg.S706) show that the chances of survival for a collapsed person who gets no CPR decreases at 10% per minute. After 10 minutes without CPR, the chances for survival are at zero. But, with high-quality CPR (at least 100 compressions per minute and at least 2 inches deep), chances of survival only decrease at 4% per minute. After 10 minutes of high-quality CPR, chances of survival are still 60%.

What CPR Does

1. 1. Evacuates blood from a distended heart. When a person collapses, the arteries stop moving blood, but the veins continue delivering blood to the heart over the next 4 to 5 minutes, as the heart becomes distended (filled with blood but not pumping). Even if the heart is in ventricular fibrillation (VF), it needs CPR to evacuate the blood it has filled up with before a shock can be effective.

   2. Moves oxygenated blood to the brain and helps to reduce brain damage, keeps the person alive longer, and leads to improved quality of life if the person survives.

   3. Moves oxygenated blood to the heart (most important part of CPR!) Resucitation requires 2 things: shocking the heart and delivering blood to the heart.
