| Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Research |
|
|
| We have participated in the development and study of dozens of devices
designed to implement new and hopefully more effective approaches to providing
circulatory and ventilation support to the victim of cardiac arrest.
Examples of these approaches include: |
|
|
| Cough CPR |
|
|
| SC-V CPR |
|
|
| Vest CPR |
|
|
| IAC CPR |
|
|
| ACD CPR |
|
|
| Hi-Impulse CPR |
|
|
| PCCWR CPR |
|
|
| Mechanical v. Manual CPR |
|
|
In addition to the study of physical interventions, we have worked in support of
investigators developing promising new technologies for the diagnosis and
titration of therapy for the victim of cardiac arrest. These technologies
include:
| EtCO2 Analysis |
|
|
| Computer-Assisted ECG Analysis |
|
|
|
|
|
Another form of CPR research involves the use of mathematical and software
simulations to investigate the mechanisms of blood flow and study how different
intervention strategies might promote blood flow to the organs we are most
concerned with during resuscitation.

| CPR Training and Rescue Aids |
|
|
| We have helped companies develop products for training rescuers to properly
perform CPR for the victim of cardiac arrest and to properly ventilate patients
of all types. These projects have involved the development of hardware to
physically simulate key aspects of the patient physiology, precise electronic
instrumentation for the measurement of therapy delivered, and sophisticated
software to acquire data, analyze performance and present and document results
for the user. |

Cardiac Emergency Prompter is a
Pocket PC application designed to aid the user in properly dealing with a
cardiac emergency. Starting with assessing the patient and activating the
Emergency Medical System, the program efficiently prompts the user through
airway management, rescue breathing and CPR in accordance with current
recommendations. Download a copy to try out here:
Cardiac Emergency Prompter (ARM)
Cardiac Emergency Prompter (MIPS)
Cardiac Emergency Prompter (SH3)
Cardiac Emergency Prompter (X86)
To install, download the CAB file corresponding to the
processor in your Pocket PC (ARM, MIPS, SH3 or X86) and copy that
file to your Pocket PC (for example, to the "My Documents" folder).
Execute the CAB file (by tapping on it from within the Pocket PC File
Explorer). The application will be installed and the CAB file
automatically deleted. If you have any trouble, or
would like a version for a different processor, please
contact us!
If you have an older Pocket PC then you may also need to install the
.NET Compact Framework from
Microsoft.
