In the 3 minutes it takes to watch this video...
A victim of Sudden Cardiac Arrest will begin to lose oxygen to the brain.
Unless immediate, quality CPR compressions are administrated...
brain activity quickly shuts down...
and the victim dies.
Those first few minutes before emergency responders arrive are critical.
Hi. I’m Dr. Robert Tober, Emergency Room Physician, Collier County Florida E.M.S. and Medical Director of CPR RsQ Assist®.
Today, I want to talk to you about the new “Hands-Only” chest compression CPR guidelines recently introduced by the American Heart Association.
As we know, SCA can and does happen at any time and any place with 50% of these events occurring in a workplace environment.
Currently only 5% of victims who suffer from Sudden Cardiac Arrest survive nationwide.
Quality, immediate chest compressions can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.
MOST PEOPLE STILL THINK MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION IS STILL REQUIRED.
Imagine having to perform CPR on a friend, loved one or stranger. One in four Americanssay they’ve been in that situation, however most - up to 70% - feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they don’t know what to do, or their training has
significantly lapsed.
But new studies show that quality HANDS-ONLY chest compressions produce survival rates just as high, or higher than CPR using mouth-to-mouth.
Dr. Gordon Ewy of the Sarver Heart Institute at the University of Arizona and an early proponent of chest compression CPR states: “It is the heart and brain that need to be resuscitated, not the lungs.”
Once Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs CHEST COMPRESSIONS ARE THE HEARTBEAT
INTRODUCING CPR RsQ ASSIST®.
CPR RsQ Assist® is a breakthrough lifesaving device that addresses those first critical minutes following a cardiac event. Just like a fire extinguisher or smoke detector, it’s an
essential safety device - which can help save more lives following sudden cardiac arrest.
It’s a first-of-its-kind, hands-only chest compression device designed to eliminate the intimidation factor of performing CPR.
This easy-to-use device guides you through the steps of performing effective, quality CPR.
And independent, clinical studies have shown that CPR RsQ Assist® can reduce fatigue by 90% and increase performance results by 94.5% over traditional CPR.
... and it compliments the science behind hands-only CPR, making it easier to provide early, quality bystander CPR.
What happens in the first two minutes following a cardiac event is critical to a person’s survival - and is usually in the hands of a bystander.
The 2010 American Heart Association guidelines for hands-only CPR call for at least 100 chest compressions per minute for at least two minutes at a depth of at least two inches
in the center of the victim’s chest.
However, in the heat of the moment, it’s easy to forget where to place your hands and how quickly to do chest compressions. It’s also tiring. So as time passes, form and cadence
can deteriorate as fatigue increases.
The beauty of this product is its simplicity. CPR RsQ Assist® takes the guesswork out of delivering quality, effective CPR chest compressions, which keeps the blood flowing from the victim’s heart... to the brain... and ultimately increases the victim’s chances of survival.
CPR RsQ Assist® has easy-to-follow voice commands, along with an audio and visual metronome. It talks you through the steps of calling 911, placing the device in the center of the victim’s chest, and instructs you to push 100 times per minute until help arrives.
To address fatigue, the product also has an ergonomic design with an easy-to-grip, nonslip handle. The design allows you to leverage upper body strength and weight as you push down, delivering quality compressions in the center of the chest, over minimal
clothing if needed.
With the bellows fully compressed, you have achieved a depth of at least 2 inches.
THE POWER TO RESTORE A HEARTBEAT IS IN YOUR HANDS.
Just like a fire extinguisher or smoke detector, it’s an essential safety device - which can help save more lives following sudden cardiac arrest.
Its compact size and quick accessibility make it easy to keep at home, in the workplace, in the car, or anywhere where there are two or more people.
The device is available with a custom-designed wall cabinet and signage for easy placement adjacent to an Automated External Defibrillator or AED, so rescuers have easy access to both lifesaving devices.
Current American Heart Association guidelines call for at least 100 chest compressions per minute for at least two minutes prior to using an AED.
Quite simply... CPR RsQ Assist® buys precious time.
Delivering a neurologically intact patient... to the responding medical team.
