ZOLL® Medical Corporation is “Guidelines-ready,” with a proven track record of offering ground-breaking technologies that help clinicians meet or exceed AHA recommendations for CPR and beyond.
Integral to ZOLL’s leadership position is a history of anticipating Guidelines recommendations and proactively developing technologies that support their implementation. The company introduced Real CPR Help® in 2002 – three years before Guidelines 2005 emphasized the critically important role of high-quality CPR. Real CPR Help provides a comprehensive set of visual and audible prompts to maximize effectiveness of depth as well as rate.
The new 2010 Guidelines recommend “Interruptions should be minimized.” (S678.) ZOLL is the only company offering See-Thru CPR®, a breakthrough that minimizes pausing by filtering out compression artifact, allowing the rescuer to see organized underlying rhythms without stopping.
With the new AHA Guidelines, continuous capnography is recommended for verifying ET tube placement as well as effectiveness during CPR.
“Continuous waveform capnography is recommended in addition to clinical assessment as the most reliable method of confirming and monitoring correct placement of an endotracheal tube. (Class I, LOE A).
"Capnography can be used to monitor the progress of resuscitation and indicate when ROSC has been achieved, or when to stop resuscitative efforts.”(S731, S733)
Beyond CPR, ZOLL also meets the Guidelines recommendations for post-resuscitation case review with our comprehensive CodeNet® Code Review software. The hand-held PDA allows a clinician to document the entire code as it occurs.
After the Code, data such as CPR quality , time to first compression and/or shock, medications, etc, can be reviewed.
“Debriefing of actual events can be a useful strategy to improve.” ( Class IIa) (S923)
