ECC ASSISTANT Cardiatech Holland BV

CardiAid External Chest Compression (ECC) Assistant is designed to help the rescuer perform the most effective and consistent chest compressions on a sudden cardiac arrest victim. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the situation in which the heart stops pumping the blood to the brain and the rest of the body. SCA can strike any person of any age and gender, anywhere, anytime. Heart attack, respiratory arrest, excessive physical activity, electrocution, drowning, stress are the main causes leading to SCA; especially at work places where the most of daily lifetime is spent.

For a patient having SCA, immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critical. CPR which is performed starting from the early minutes of the incident might be lifesaving for the patient since it supports blood circulation. CPR cycle consists of 2 rescue breaths followed by 30 chest compressions. Most rescuers cannot perform effective external chest compressions consistently since CPR is extremely exhausting. Performing chest compressions by placing CardiAid ECC Assistant on the patient's chest helps achieving the correct compression depth without harming the ribcage of the patient.

Being an easy-to-use product, CardiAid ECC Assistant is developed for emergency professionals, first aid responders, CPR trainees and instructors. CardiAid ECC Assistant can also be used in CPR courses as a CPR training mate.
