  • Palpable bilateral carotid pulses and left brachial and radial pulses
  • Pulse palpation is detected and logged
  • Pulse strength variable with BP (normal, weak, absent)
  • Vascular access right arm only

CPR

  • Compliant with 2010 ANZCOR guidelines
  • Compressions generate palpable pulses, blood pressure wave form, and ECG artifact
  • Realistic compression depth and resistance
