AutoPulse is an automated, portable device with an easy-to-use, load-distributing LifeBand that squeezes the entire chest in an uninterrupted hands-free manner, improving blood flow to the heart and brain during cardiac arrest, the company said.
According to the company, AutoPulse helps provide the consistent chest compressions called for by the 2005 American Heart Association guidelines.
Richard Packer, chairman and CEO of Zoll, said: “We’re pleased that yet another highly-regarded cardiac center, like Provena Saint Joseph, realizes the value AutoPulse can provide in improving survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest.
“More and more hospitals, both large and small, are recognizing the importance that consistent, uninterrupted, high-quality chest compressions have in improving outcomes.”
