New CPR Devices to be Tested
Some new tools are going to be tested to assist in CPR. This report from the St. Paul Pioneer Press (Via Firehouse.com) explains the new ResQPump and ResQPod.
One is the ResQPump, which works somewhat like a household plunger and increases blood flow by manipulating the chest cavity.The other is the ResQPod, which fits atop the device that paramedics place over a patient's mouth during CPR. The pod expedites the flow of blood into the lungs by regulating how oxygen is exhaled and inhaled during resuscitation.
