A Randomized Controlled Study of the NEURESCUE Device as an Adjunct to Advanced Cardiac Life Support

Standard of care Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) consists of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), airway management, ventilation and defibrillation.

"Aortic balloon occlusion (ABO) is a technique that diverts blood flow towards the coronary and cerebral circulation. ABO is investigated as an adjunct to the treatment of cardiac arrest.~In this study ABO is performed using the NEURESCUE Catheter, which is inserted through an introducer in the femoral artery, and thereby inserted into the aorta during uninterrupted Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). The balloon is then temporarily inflated as an adjunct to the treatment of cardiac arrest."
