Hemodynamics of Corpuls CPR in a Porcine Model of Cardiac Arrest

Purpose of the study: The debate on whether mechanical chest compression (CC) devices can be used for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) remains unresolved. To support this debate and since data on CC quality unbiased by pharmacotherapy is rare we present current hemodynamic data on the fairly new Corpuls CPR (GS Elektromedizinische Geraete G. Stemple GmbH) from our animal model.
