Auto CPR Machine

Physical therapists have a lot of tools in their arsenal. They have rehabilitation tools and many more. In Buffalo hospital, they have this interesting equipment called Alucas. It is an automated CPR machine that pumps 100 compressions a minute.

Imagine someone who just lost his heartbeat and you have been doing manual CPR for a minute, do you think you can sustain the same pressure for the next few minutes? No, you can’t. You will tire out eventually and thus, the effectiveness of the CPR will go down the drain. If this machine is around, then you can position it in the patient’s chest, turn the knob and it will pump without tiring out and it shall retain the same pressure. It gives a negative pullback to the chest which helps pull blood back to the heart and keep it pumping again. A lot of doctors agree that this is a lot better than the manual way. What’s good is, even a 12 year old can operate this machine. This will come in pretty handy during emergencies, that’s for sure. Price? It plays around $15,000.00.
