When cardiac arrest occurs, the fact is that only half of the victims will require an electric shock. The other half require only proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The ZOLL® AED Plus® not only monitors the victim and has the ability to administer shocks when appropriate, but also gives detailed instruction to the lifesaver about when to give chest compressions, rescue breathing, and even gives on-the-spot evaluation on the quality of your CPR efforts, offering real-time advice on what do to, and how to give the victim all the chance to survive possible.
Other attractive features of this defibrillator include not two pads to be placed on the patient in certain places, but one large pad, complete with an area marked specifically for the chest compressions of CPR.
Also, most AED's run on expensive batteries available only through specialized retailers, whereas the ZOLL® AED Plus® runs on ordinary ''D'' lithium batteries: the same ones you'd buy for your household appliances!
This unit is available with or without an ECG (sometimes spelled EKG, meaning Electrocardiogram) display screen.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) kills more than 400,000 people every year. It can strike virtually anyone, anywhere, any time, and in most cases, without warning. Without treatment, victims have only minutes to live, with survival rates typically between 2% and 5%, since the necessary life-saving equipment does not usually arrive in time. With quick response and readily available equipment, the condition is treatable, with survival rates well over 50%.
