ResQPOD Impedance Threshold Device

     During CPR, the ResQPOD restricts unwanted airflow back into the lungs as the chest recoils. This allows the negative pressure being created in the thoracic cavity to act on the circulatory system and pull more blood into the heart. As a result, systolic pressures increase and push more blood to the brain and vital organs. Find your local Bound Tree Medical account manager at www.boundtree.com/locator, or call 800/533-0523.
