1.5 Benefits of Mechanical CPR
With the purchase of the Life-Stat

CPR System, you join thousands of health care professionals
worldwide who benefit from the many advantages of mechanical CPR. The Advanced Cardiac Life
Support Manual published by the American Heart Association, describes some of the benefits of
mechanical CPR devices as follows:
"... they can 1) standardize the technique of CPR, 2) eliminate user fatigue, 3) free
trained persons to participate in the delivery of ACLS when there is a limited
number of rescuers, and 4) assure adequacy of compression when a patient requires
continued resuscitation during transportation."
