Description
The ResQPOD ITD 10 is an impedance threshold device that attaches to the airway during CPR to deliver intrathoracic pressure regulation (IPR) therapy. By restricting airflow during the chest recoil phase, it increases preload and lowers intracranial pressure, supporting the circulation that conventional CPR generates.
- IPR therapy delivery – regulates intrathoracic pressure during the recoil phase of CPR
- Airway-line placement – fits into the ventilation path with the airway adjunct in use
- Preload support – the vacuum effect of recoil draws more blood back to the heart
- Single-patient device – a compact disposable adjunct for adult resuscitation kits
Main Description
Conventional CPR moves only a fraction of normal blood flow, and the ITD was designed to improve the physiology of the recoil phase. As the chest recoils, the device restricts inspiratory airflow, which deepens the intrathoracic vacuum, increases venous return and preload, and lowers intracranial pressure during compressions. The net effect is more blood available for the next compression to push toward the heart and brain. The ITD 10 is the 10-model impedance threshold device in ZOLL's IPR therapy line, which also includes the ResQCPR system pairing the ITD with active compression-decompression CPR. ALS and BLS services stock the device in airway kits for adult cardiac arrest response.
Features and Benefits
Physiology of IPR Therapy
- Recoil-phase restriction – limits airflow as the chest recoils, deepening the intrathoracic vacuum
- Increased preload – greater venous return loads the heart for the next compression
- Lower intracranial pressure – the same pressure regulation reduces ICP during CPR
Field Use
- Airway adjunct fit – installs in line with the ventilation equipment used during resuscitation
- Kit-friendly format – compact single-patient device sized for airway and arrest kits
- Part of the IPR line – shares its therapy approach with the ResQCPR system

Why Choose This Product
CPR quality programs focus on compressions, but circulation also depends on what happens between compressions. The ITD is a small, inexpensive adjunct aimed squarely at that recoil phase, and it drops into the airway setup crews already use.
- Works the other half of CPR – targets recoil-phase physiology that compression coaching cannot reach
- No workflow overhaul – fits the airway circuit used in standard adult arrest response
- Low-cost adjunct – a per-arrest disposable rather than a capital purchase
- Genuine ZOLL IPR device – the ResQPOD is the reference ITD in ZOLL resuscitation line
Frequently Asked Questions
How does an impedance threshold device help during CPR?
It restricts airflow while the chest recoils after each compression. That deepens the intrathoracic vacuum, increasing venous return and preload while lowering intracranial pressure, which supports circulation to the heart and brain.
Where does the ITD sit in the airway setup?
It installs in line with the ventilation path used during resuscitation, between the airway adjunct and the ventilation source. Crews add it as part of the adult arrest airway setup.
What is IPR therapy?
IPR stands for intrathoracic pressure regulation. It is the therapy approach behind the ResQPOD ITD and the ResQCPR system, using controlled resistance during recoil to improve the hemodynamics of CPR.
Is the ResQPOD reusable?
It is a single-patient resuscitation adjunct. Services stock it in arrest and airway kits and replace it after use, like other disposable airway-circuit components.
How is it packaged?
It is sold as listed in the Packaging and Ordering section below, as a single each with its own SKU. Confirm the package line before ordering for kit replenishment.
