Technical Article Abstract
In an effort to improve the currently dismal outcomes for patients after cardiac arrest, a novel technology has recently been developed that functions to maximize circulation of blood to the vital organs during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Use of this new device called the impedance threshold device (ITD) or ResQPOD™, enhances the changes in intrathoracic pressures during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to double both blood flow to the heart and blood pressures, improve circulation to the brain, and significantly increase the chances for survival after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.4,6,9–25 Additionally, recent clinical studies of this device punctuate the difficulty of performing CPR correctly; these studies have demonstrated that even mildly excessive ventilation rates and incomplete chest wall recoil during CPR can be lethal. Importantly, use of the ITD has enhanced understanding of the essential elements needed to perform effective CPR and improve survival rates after cardiac arrest. While not a panacea, use of the ITD in efficient emergency medical systems increases the likelihood for survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
