Besides the absolutely ridiculous video ....what does this do that a BVM doesn't? Why should someone spend (probably hundreds of dollars worth) of money on this particular piece of plastic vs what's already stocked to do the same job?

I'll wait on the RCTs conducted by individual researchers. Sounds a lot like the ResQPod. Also, what the hell kind of unprofessional video was that?

Video is total crap... yet better than AHA videos... AHA should have them do ACLS/PALS/BLS vids

The video was pretty funny. Sounds like a vent with 5 of peep would do the same thing?
Exactly what I thought too!
This was posted in a resus group on Facebook. I think I felt the same as most of you, what really got me was that they have the brass to make an advertisement video like this without even having released any kind of scientific research associated with these claims.

Interesting claims.

This device does the opposite on the "de" compression phase of CPR and makes the same general claim:

Which one is better than an Ambu bag? You decide. One thing I know for sure. It's really bad when your heart stops.

The device in the video is the Boussignac CPAP device but in red (normally its green). When he attaches the manometer, it shows a 5 cmH2O CPAP pressure (albeit at 15 LPM). This is different form the way the ResQpod works.
