What is a CPR board?

CPR boards are also known as rigid plastic backplates or heart plates. The CPR board provides a firm surface and is ideal for chest compressions. The CPR Board is an innovative cardiac care safety tool for emergency vehicles. Sometimes called a heart board, a CPR board helps perform CARDIopulmonary resuscitation by creating a flat, hard surface underneath the person in need of care. These are used in emergency response situations where a person must perform chest compressions on a firm surface.

Quality CPR is the only treatment that has been shown in studies to have a positive effect on the outcome of cardiac arrest. In addition, providing high-quality chest compressions is critical to successful resuscitation. Whether you are a medical professional or caregiver, your primary goal should always be to provide the highest standard of care to your patients.

Do you need a backboard for CPR?

The CPR board is a lightweight and ergonomic accessory that slides easily down the patient’s lower back to provide a firm surface for optimal chest compressions. Every emergency room, doctor’s office and emergency response vehicle must be equipped. By keeping a plastic backboard handy, you can always be ready for an emergency that requires CPR. When patients are lying on a bed, couch, or other soft or uneven surface, it can be difficult to properly perform CPR and resuscitate them. Because performing chest compressions requires a hard, horizontal surface, emergency resuscitation boards are an important feature in any medical clinic or emergency setting. They slide easily under patients who are unable to move or lose consciousness, and are light enough to be carried around or attached to carts and beds. In addition to providing a strong, level surface for CPR, our medical emergency boards are made from hospital grade polypropylene plastic that is easy to clean. It also helps ensure a continuously open airway. The head cup maintains the correct alignment of the patient’s head, while the sides of the profile make it easier for the patient to lift.

Heart board can be used to help save lives in any location, including:

The ambulance

The motel

clinic

Care facilities

Doctor’s office

The gym

campus

Private house

The university of

Dentist’s office

The hospital

The hotel

When someone’s life is in danger, every second counts. Ideal for CARDIopulmonary resuscitation training and cardiopulmonary resuscitation management, the EB-5A Medical Emergency Lightweight Plastic CPR Board allows the patient to properly position and keep the airway open while making external cardiac massage more effective. The upper surface structure reduces slip and supports the vertebrae. The lower surface is used to stabilize the plate during resuscitation. The handle makes it very easy to manage and transport, making operations such as anchoring and transferring patients easier. Lightweight and resistant to pressure, it is made of high-density polyethylene and has no seams in its double shell. Transport of critically ill patients on ambulance stretchers and in all hospital wards is essential to enable CPR.
