The portable machine, named AutoPulse by manufacturer Zoll, consists of a band that wraps around the chest of a patient and can be programmed to squeeze as frequently as an emergency worker would pump with their hands.

as a healthcare professional I can assure you this product will never be widely used, or even scarcely used, it will be more of a hassle than its worth, taking valuable time to set up and dismantle, not to mention that there is no way it will be more reliable and accurate than a well trained and experienced professional, people are so lazy these days, making everything machine automated is not wise use of technology and ingenuity, its useless overkill.

In 2005 the Medical Field; Citizen CPR Foundation and American Heart Association; changed the guide lines for CPR figuring out the new compression to breath ratio to 30:2.
That means 30 compression to 2 breath cycles.
Somehow they figure out that we need more pumping in the heart (30) than oxygen (2) in the lungs.
Thanks for the info Simon!
