A new tool could revolutionize the way paramedics perform CPR.
It's called the Auto-Pulse, and the machine can do things humans can't -- which could save more lives.

When someone is having a heart attack, CPR can be the difference between life and death.
However, a human is only capable of so much as traditional CPR is very tiring and prone to breaking chest bones.
It takes only seconds to set up Auto-Pulse and the consistent, strong compressions pump more blood through the body than typical CPR.
It frees the paramedics to do other life saving tasks, when every second counts.
The machine spreads the pressure across the whole chest to prevent damage to the ribs or sternum.
