For **home use**, mechanical CPR machines (LUCAS, AutoPulse, etc.) are not suitable — they're designed for trained medical professionals and cost ₹65,000–₹14,00,000.
For home emergencies, here's what actually helps:
## Best Options for Home Use
**1. AED (Automated External Defibrillator)**
The most recommended home emergency device. It gives voice instructions and guides anyone step by step — no training needed. Available in India from ₹15,000–₹80,000 on IndiaMART, VMEDO, and Amazon India.
**2. CPR Feedback Device / Manikin Trainer**
Small handheld devices that beep or light up to guide compression depth and rate during manual CPR. Good for practice and real emergencies. Much cheaper — ₹2,000–₹10,000.
**3. CPR Face Shield / Pocket Mask**
A basic, affordable accessory (₹200–₹800) that makes rescue breaths hygienic and safe.
