Video: Zoll E-Series Monitor

My friends at the ChroniclesofEMS.com produced this excellent video of the features in the Zoll E-Series Monitor. Mark and Justin show off good CPR technique and just a bit of breathlessness – as they should – after doing CPR. It is a lot of work and a new rescuer should rotate in every 2 minutes.

My service upgraded to the Zoll E-Series at the end of 2009. I like it’s ease of use, but familiarity with the M-Series operations. We are not using the CPR feedback and see-through CPR because we are in the midst of a clinical trial for a related resuscitation device. Once the trial is complete I am looking forward to implementation of these features. I am also excited to have wave form capnography.

On a related, yet important note, one of the things I like most about the new Montior is the pockets and zippers are better set up to hold the BP cuff, electrodes, defib pads, and electrode cables. This makes the morning rig check faster and field deployment easier and tidier.

Are you using the Zoll E-Series Monitor? What are your likes and dislikes?

    If you look closely you will notice another Zoll product laying on the floor to the right of the screen. Its called the autopulse and it looks like a short spine board. Using both of these products one has the ability to completely eliminate all pauses in compressions. Some agencies have used it right and have tripled their "save" rates using this board. I got to use the board along with the monitor some a few months back and I think they are the future of coding a patient.
  • Thanks for the comment about the Auto Pulse. The agency where I work uses the Auto Pulse. For us the Auto Pulse is programmed to deliver 30 compressions and then pauses while two breaths are given. Once the patient's airway is secured the settings are changed for continuous compressions. I will ask Ted Setla, the video maker, if he also has an Auto Pulse video with Mark and Justin in the works.
  • I don't have an answer to your question about improved ROSC. Thanks for the link to the study.

    Does CPR feedback improve ROSC and survival to discharge rates? In one study of CPR audio feedback the quality of CPR improved but ROSC didn't, see http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2009-11/uow--eor112009.php
