He is joined by Chris Montera and some of the fellow podcasters from the ProMed Network and they present their product picks for this year and have a discussion on some of the issues that were talked about during the expo. For starters, Natalie Quebodeaux and Jon Cloutier, EMS Marketing Manager for Zoll present a new product called the CPR Dashboard. This product gives the provider real-time CPR compression feed back. It also monitors the depth and rate of compressions and a self-correcting feature that tells the provider whether there is the need to increase pressure or up the pace of compressions. It also has a feature that shows if the CPR is effective and delivers adequate cardiac perfusion. All data are recorded and can be downloaded to another database. Jon also said that Zoll currently has a new product on STEMI management that can transfer ECGs from any device that connects to the internet and those readings can be sent in to any hospital that has internet access. The best part about this? It's free! Next up was Scott Kier with Todd McKinney from IntuBrite. Their product is a light source and ergonomic package for intubating. The major innovation of this product is the use of 2 LEDs that gives off more light and better anatomical view of the airway. The design also gives a good grip and encourages proper positioning into the airway. Dr. Ben Bobrow from the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation came up next and shared his thoughts on the system, public awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and the importance of a system-wide approach to recognition and treatment starting with community based CPR training, Emergency Medical Services system improvements, individual EMT and paramedic code management training, and close integration with hospital based cardiac care services. Chris Montera went ahead and presented his product pick which was the Ferno EZ Glide stair chair. This stair chair can move up a 500 lb patient on a flight of stairs with a push of a button. This can also be used on flat surfaces as well as steep inclinations. It also has IV poles and oxygen cylinder holders for convenience. Natalie Quebodeaux followed with her product pick IPCR. This is an electronic patient care reporting system for iPad which helps eliminate redundant PCR paperwork. With this, you can make copies with one click and it auto-fills which saves time for the provider.
