Abstract

New electro-mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation devices may help in providing more constant compressions in depth and compression rate to patients suffering from cardiac arrest. They are easily transportable and allow paramedics to move patients even while applying CPR. The behaviour of these devices however may be different even when using the same guidelines for the effective application of CPR. The presented study shows the hemodynamic and gas exchange response in the application of the Lucas2 and Corpuls CPR device with the use of an animal model. A description of the acquisition system is given and the protocol followed during the experimental procedure.
