Understanding Healthcare

Attempting to do CPR on soft surfaces such as sand or a mattress, can be very challenging. The soft surface beneath the patient often absorbs the compressions instead of the patient. This is why a CPR board (a.k.a. cardiac board) is necessary.

CPR boards can be used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to provide a flat and firm surface beneath a person. It provides stability when performing chest compressions to pump the blood through their circulatory system.

Keeping an airway open is also obviously essential in resuscitation, but is unfortunately one of the many struggles rescuers have to deal with. However, the Dealmed CPR board includes a head cup that maintains proper alignment of a patient’s head. This ensures proper position of a person to maintain a constant open airway.

The Dealmed CPR board is brightly colored orange making the board easy to spot and grab in an emergency. It’s light weight and the sides make lifting a patient easier.

Some of the many places CPR Boards should be readily available are:

• Life Guard stations
• Rescue units
• Ski Hills
• Pools
• ER’s & Urgent Cares
• Clinics, Physicians Offices & Other Care Centers
• Sporting events
• Etc.
