ResQPOD Impedance Threshold Device Overview
Thursday, February 09, 2012 01:04 PM Pacific
The ResQPOD is an Impedance Threshold Device, or ITD, that significantly increases circulation during CPR for patients in cardiac arrest. The non-invasive, single-use device prevents unnecessary air from entering the chest during CPR, creating a negative pressure vacuum as the chest recoils. The enhanced vacuum refills the heart after each chest compression, increasing blood flow to the heart. The increased preload to the heart helps make compressions more effective and increases the chances of a successful defibrillation and return of spontaneous circulation.

In teaching, we communicate both orally and verbally when describing our patients. For instance, a patient having an acute myocardial infarction would be described in lectures and on slides as pale, diaphoretic, and with Levine's sign. The problem -- especially to the new EMS provider -- is that these terms are ambiguous as the provider may have yet to ever encounter them. So why not use photography to visually demonstrate those concepts that you are trying to describe through words? Taking your own photographs will allow you to take case-based learning and student-instructor interaction to the next level.
