The EleGARD™ Patient Positioning System precisely, rapidly, and consistently positions patients for the ElevatedCPR(R) method to provide #NeuroprotectiveCPR.
Can gravity help with CPR? Dr. Paul Pepe says yes —if it’s done correctly. Learn more about the latest objective #HeadUpCPR research in this video presentation (starting at 16 minutes): https://t.co/wDv2kl9kE5
Here is the @CARESRegistry data from 2023.
It shows that 7.4% of the 141,746 OHCA patients had a CPC 1-2 outcome (neuro-intact).
But we can -- and must -- do better.
There are agencies in the U.S. with 14% neuro-intact survival. Extrapolating that out would yield almost 10,000 more lives saved if those outcomes weren't just reserved for the top performing 0.1%.
How do we get there?
1. Know your agency's neuro-intact survival (this is found in the CARES summary report at https://t.co/yBTVyE7pYY.
2. Implement T-CPR at dispatch.
3. Train PD on HP-CPR.
4. Implement EMS HP-CPR on all patients (kids too).
5. Institute robust CQI that includes a deep data dive on every cardiac arrest. Send this feedback to the crews.
6. Have reunions with every survivor.
7. Recognize your personnel for EVERY save.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 every year.

BCFREMS spent time conducting Heads-Up CPR training drills with the EleGARD CPR device. This new approach to CPR will assist in reducing intracerebral pressure & improve blood flow in the brain. BCFREMS is 1 of 75 EMS agencies across the country trialing the EleGARD.#HeadsUpCPR
