THUMPER CPR DEVICE MANUAL

The fundamental goal of eective CPR applications is to achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and a good neurological outcome and the return of the patient to the patients previous qu-Īlity of life and functional level of health. This manuscript was prepared to review the experimental and clinical studies conducted on the historical progress and eectiveness of mechanical chest compression devices (MCCD). Despite the evolution of resuscitation medicine, the limited improvement in survival rates following cardiac arrest has led researchers to explore the possibility of dierent CPR techniques and also to develop devices that support ventilation and circulation (2-6). The current application of S-CPR is based on the technique of external chest compression that was defined by Kouwenhoven in 1960 and comprises the phases of active compression and passive decompression. Standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (S-CPR) refers to the entire body of techniques of external chest compression and securing positive pressure ventilation for the purpose of achieving adequate blood and oxygen ow into vital organs such as the heart and brain following cardiac arrest (1). Keywords: Cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical chest compression devices The purpose of this manuscript was to draw attention to developments in this medical area and to examine studies on the eectiveness of these devices. This CPR technology includes devices such as the mechanical piston load-distributing band, active compressiondecompression CPR, simultaneous sterno-thoracic CPR, impedance threshold valve, phased thoracic-abdominal active compressiondecompression CPR and active compression-decompression CPR with enhanced external counterpulsation, and the impedance threshold valve. Because of these limitations, mechanical chest compression devices were developed to improve the efficiency of CPR.

Although current CPR was developed 50 years ago, cardiac arrest still has a high mortality rate and manual chest compressions have some potential limitations. The standard treatment of cardiac arrest is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), performed with eective manual chest compressions.
