New Life Saving Technology

The Fair Haven First Aid Squad is pleased to announce the acquisition of a new life saving device to serve its Borough residents. With the generous donations generated from our annual fund drive, the Squad has purchased AutoPulse, the most advanced piece of equipment used on patients that are in cardiac arrest.

AutoPulse - automated CPRAutoPulse is designed to help with C.P.R. AutoPulse will do perfect CPR compressions on each individual patient. The depth and rate are exactly what the American Heart Association recommends for cardiac arrest patients. Fatigue will no longer be a factor, as AutoPulse will do all the compressions for medics working on a code patient. The AutoPulse looks much like a small backboard. The patient’s upper torso fits onto the board and then a 4-inch strap is placed onto the patient’s chest. The strap is then fitted to the patient and is sized to fit that particular patient for the proper depth and placement. With each compression, there is a better pulse created than what is done by hand placement. There is an increase in blood flow, which means that drugs that are given to a patient have a better chance of reaching their target organs and tissues.

AutoPulse has shown an increase in the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients by as much as 26%.
