The evidence is indisputable: High-quality CPR is the primary component in influencing survival from cardiac arrest.1 Not every patient will need a defibrillating shock, but every patient will need CPR.

Even for seasoned health care professionals, it’s hard to know if you are pushing hard enough and fast enough to meet current Guidelines for compression rate and depth. With Real CPR Help technology, you know. It provides audio and visual feedback that guides rescuers to deliver high-quality CPR.

See Real CPR Help technology in action in this online demo.

How Real CPR Help Works

Using accelerometer technology, a sensor inside ZOLL’s CPR electrodes captures the rate and depth of each compression. Once the electrodes are placed on the patient, the person providing CPR presses on the clearly marked hand placement indicator that covers the sensor. The information captured is sent to the defibrillator, where it is immediately processed and provided in real time to the rescuer.

On the ZOLL AED 3®, AED Plus®, AED 3® BLS, and AED Pro® defibrillators, rescuers will hear — and see — “Push Harder” or “Good Compressions,” as well as encouragement to “Start CPR” if needed. On the R Series® and X Series® defibrillators, Real CPR Help technology provides numeric displays of both rate and depth, as well as verbal feedback, if desired, to “Push Harder” or “Good Compressions.” Thanks to Real CPR Help technology, more detailed information about CPR quality can be displayed on CPR Dashboard™ on R Series and X Series.

In addition, on all ZOLL AEDs and professional defibrillators, an adaptive metronome will guide you to provide the Guidelines-recommended rate of compressions. What you see and/or hear will depend on how your device is configured.

Push harder Good compressions

On AED Plus, rescuers will hear the prompt “Push Harder” or “Good Compressions,” and the same message will appear on the AED screen.

CPR Feedback

On X Series and R Series (shown above), CPR Dashboard provides the actual depth and rate of the compressions, as well as a compression release indicator so you know if you’re coming off the chest to allow for full recoil, and a PPI, or Perfusion Performance Indicator. If the indicator is completely full, you know that both depth and rate of compressions are within Guidelines.

Chances of Survival More than Doubled

Studies in Arizona and California prove that high-quality CPR saves lives and that Real CPR Help technology can improve CPR quality.2,3 A large study of EMS providers in Arizona showed that the odds of survival increased 2.7 times with ZOLL’s industry-exclusive Real CPR Help feedback and scenario-based training.2 And survival to discharge and good neurological outcomes doubled after the implementation of a “resuscitation bundle” at the University of California San Diego Medical Center that included Real CPR Help and specialized training.3
