What effect will breath stacking (delivering a series of breaths without compressions in between) have on the ResQPODs function?
Breath stacking will delay the effect of the ResQPOD, as the pressure within the chest is higher after breath stacking. It is for that reason that the ERC and AHA guidelines recommend a 15:2 compression to ventilation ratio. In intubated patients, we recommend an 10:1 compression to ventilation ratio (equivalent to 10 ventilations/minute at the AHA-recommended compression rate of 100/min), which is consistent with ERC and AHA Guidelines. Silicone valves are known to stick when they become warm and wet from respiration especially diaphragm valves. Does the ResQPOD Circulatory Enhancer remain functional in extreme temperatures and humidity? Yes, the ResQPOD has been tested under extreme temperature and humidity conditions and remains functional as indicated in the products packaging and labeling.
