An automatic cardiac massage device is a device that can administer thoracic compressions in victims with respiratory or circulatory conditions. Manufacturer ZOLL brings the AutoPulse, the most well-known cardiac massager since 2003. This device is only suitable for use by professional healthcare providers, at the ambulance or in hospitals. Operation
The head, shoulders and upper part of the patient's back lie on the device, which is similar to a hard shelf. The control panel is located next to the patient's left ear. The device includes a control computer, a battery and a motor that attracts the thorax band. The thorax band is a length-adjustable band that covers the entire thorax. When an unclothed patient gets stuck and the device is turned on, the thoracic strap tightens around the thorax and compresses the thoracic rhythmically. The heart is compressed 80 times per minute. Electrodes of an AED can be attached under the thorax band, for a normal defibrillator the tape must be loosened. The thorax band is suitable for single use. Externe link Also see
