Zoll Or Lifepack

[Niftymedi911]

Hey Y'all which monitior do you guys think is the better one?

Zoll M Series or Lifepack 12

I'd be shocked if more than five percent of those who offer an opinion have actually used both models enough to judge.

People just go with what they know and stick with it. Otherwise, Lifepak would have gone out of business a long time ago.

Exactly, I've always used LP12's, so that's what I feel comfortable with. Is the M-Series better? Maybe, but I can bet I won't like it at first. I use an MRL PIC 50 now, and that took me awhile to get used to as well.

I'm using LP12 for over 3 years now. At my second job we used Zoll M (I've been there for 6 months).

Well..Hm.

I prefer the LP12. The Zoll has some vantages (size, robustness, better addon-bags), but for me as an urban EMT I prefer the LP12 with it's better energy management, it's bigger display and better options for fastening it to the stretcher.

MRx for the win

Ooooh! You're using those?

I wanna work there!!

[akroeze]

Yup, we were apparently the largest EMS user of the MRx (still are?).

The only problem is that they are the basic basic version only. AED and monitor only.

i switched over to zoll about 20 yrs ago, from lp5.

use zoll m's now cause we have rescuenet, and code review.

the biggest change was about 25 yrs ago when we switched to lp 5's from mrl 350 sl's.

lost the massive development of my triceps, hee-hee.

LOL!

Well, I think you may have been one of the few medics who even bothered to carry the thing in with you. Most of us left it bungeed to the floor of the ambulance and dragged the patient out if she needed an EKG. Heck, I knew quite a few medics who even continued to do that when they got the LP5s! Laziness is a constant in EMS.

hey DD, we cheated once in a while and pulled the screen out and took it in by itself, more or less useless w/o the defib. and constant in out of the screen bent the pins eventually, oh damn how i don't miss the old days. HA!
