Zoll AED Plus | Review
The Zoll AED Plus is
easy-to-use, features Zoll’s efficient CPR-D Padz with a five-year shelf life
(the longest of any electrodes), utilizes consumer batteries for convenience
and relatively easy upkeep, is incredibly competitive in price, and more.
When cardiac arrest
occurs, only half of victims will need an actual shock. The other half requires
efficient and proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. The Zoll AED Plus
incorporates this statistic and not only provides all of the features and
abilities of most defibrillators, but also its new patented Real CPR Help that
is proven to drastically improve CPR performance (in some studies, upwards of
277% in percentage increase of depth compression).
Zoll AED Plus' Real CPR Help
tool is able to see what you are doing and provide feedback to help you perform
CPR as best as possible. Not pushing hard enough? The Zoll AED Plus will tell you to push
harder. Not pushing fast enough? The Zoll AED Plus' metronome will guide you with the proper
rate.
So, what does this
mean? It means that with the Zoll AED Plus you’ll be best prepared for cardiac
arrests of all kinds, from those that require CPR without shock to those that
do; and that should you need to only perform CPR, you’ll have a knowledgeable guide
to make sure you’re providing the best CPR you’re capable of.
All
in all, the Zoll AED Plus is a fantastic defibrillator that would be
perfect for nearly any expected environment. For experienced rescue
personnel, the Zoll AED Pro is of course recommended, but for anyone looking to increase safety and preparedness in a school, office, church, etc., the Zoll AED Plus is your defibrillator.
