Tired of performing chest compressions? check out this new gadget. In all seriousness, has anyone personally seen this in their Dept.?

Shrug, CPR machines are nothing new. They've been around for decades. Unfortunately the video will not load for me, but from the picture to the left it appears to be a Zoll AutoPulse. I've used them, they look like a torture device, but appear to work. Used in conjunction with my ventilatoer I can run a code just by pushing a few buttons and adding meds when appropriate.

Much safer while doing CPR in motion too.

ah, I searched "cpr machine" and nothing popped up. First time ive ever seen anything like this. Thanks for the response though.
 
Despite the fact it all appears to work in theory, there is no verifiable scientific evidence that any of it works any better than CPR, which is a shame...

Clearly, they are fudging something somewhere.
