Circulation is Critical for Survival
• Provides oxygen to preserve vital organ function
• Converts non-shockable rhythms (asystole,
PEA) to shockable ones (VF, VT)
– More than half of all arrests involve non-shockable
rhythms
Presenting Rhythms in SCA
Recent studies show that VF or VT
is the initial rhythm less than 50% of the time

Presenting Rhythms in SCA
• Why are they non-shockable more than half the
time?
– EMS
• Long response times
– Hospital
• Some drugs (e.g., calcium channel blockers and beta blockers)
significantly shorten the time in which a person is in VF

AHA Guidelines 2005: CPR
“Simply put: …push hard, push fast,
allow full chest recoil, minimize
interruptions in compressions…”
Circulation. 2005;112:IV-206.
AHA Guidelines 2005: CPR
• High quality, consistent and uninterrupted
chest compressions
• Push hard, push fast
• Compression to ventilation ratio: 30:2
• Rate: 100 manual compressions per minute
• Depth: 1½ - 2 inches / 4 - 5 centimeters
• Duty cycle: 50% - 50%
• Ventilation: 8 -10 breaths per minute
CPR Challenges
• Poor quality
– Inconsistent rate, depth, duty cycle
• Harmful interruptions
– Required due to clinician fatigue, patient transport
• Inadequate cerebral and coronary perfusion
• Ineffective defibrillation support
CPR Challenges: Quality (Abella et al.)
• “…quality of multiple parameters of CPR was
inconsistent and often did not meet published
guideline recommendations….”

adversely affect hemodynamics during CPR for VF

Time
CPR Challenges: Perfusion (Kern)
Manual CPR provides minimal blood flow
to the heart and brain
10% - 20% of normal flow
30% - 40% of normal flow
Kern KB Bailliere’s Clinical Anaesthesiology. 2000;14(3):591-609.
CPR Challenges: Defibrillation Support
After ~4 minutes of VF, the myocardium is nearly depleted of
ATP*, a vital energy source needed for successful defibrillation
*Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which breaks down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
CPR Challenges: Defibrillation Support
Effective compressions help restore ATP,
increasing the likelihood of successful defibrillation
CPR Challenges: Defibrillation Support
Defibrillation is most effective during the first few
minutes after cardiac arrest
Defibrillation

Circulation
enhances outcome
AHA Guidelines 2005: LDB CPR
“LDB*-CPR may be considered for use by
properly trained personnel as an adjunct
to CPR for patients with cardiac arrest in
the out-of-hospital or in-hospital setting
(Class IIb).”
*Load-distributing band.
Circulation. 2005;112:IV-59.
AutoPulse® LDB CPR
AutoPulse LDB CPR
• What is the AutoPulse?
– The world’s only load-distributing band
chest compression device
• What does the AutoPulse do?
– Compressions that humans can’t
possibly do
• What does the AutoPulse do
for the SCA patient?
– Moves more blood, more effectively, to
the heart and brain
– Offers the promise of better outcomes
Summary of LDB CPR Benefits
• Improved blood flow
• Functions as an “additional person”
• Fast, easy and intuitive to start-up and use
• Clinician safety

Animal Survival Study (Ikeno et al.)
• Conducted by Ikeno et al. @ Stanford
• Objective was to evaluate the ability of AutoPulse’s
improved hemodynamics to affect survival
• Used a clinically relevant cardiac arrest model:
– 8 min down – 4 min BLS – 4 min ALS
• End-points were ROSC, 24-hour survival and
neurologic status at 24-hours
• CPR treatment was randomized to AutoPulse or
conventional CPR (“The Thumper”)
Animal Survival Study (Ikeno et al.)
• 73% of subjects supported with the AutoPulse returned to normal
blood flow and survived
- 88% of the survivors were neurologically normal
• 0% of the subjects supported with only conventional CPR survived

Human Hemodynamics Study (Timerman et al.)
• Conducted by Timerman et al. in Sao Paolo, Brazil
• 16 terminally ill subjects who experienced in-hospital cardiac
arrest
• Study initiated after at least 10 minutes of failed ACLS support
• AutoPulse and manual compressions were alternated for 90
seconds each
• Catheters were placed in the thoracic aorta and right atrium to
measure CPP and peak aortic pressure
• Average time between arrest and the start of experiment was
30 (+/-5) minutes
