Listener Questions
Elias –
Our system received a grant from the state for a new AED/Cardiac Monitor and have a couple choices. Do you have any preference of brands? i know we’re looking at a Zoll device and a Lifepack device and they both seem very similar, though the lifepack seems more rugged. Have you had experience with either?

Also, what’s your thought of pre-hospital autopulse cpr devices? The zoll monitor comes with one and i’m not sure if that’s a boon or a curse.
