An impedance threshold device did not improve carotid blood flow in a porcine model of prolonged cardiac arrest

Abstract Background An impedance threshold device (ITD) was developed to increase venous return to the heart and therefore increase cardiac output and organ blood flow during cardiopulmonary rescue (CPR). Basic CPR aims to maintain coronary and cerebral blood flow at the minimum level necessary for...
