ACD-CPR & the rise of the machine?
If conventional cardiopulmonary support (CPS) in cryonics is difficult to perform adequately, and impossible to sustain for more than brief periods (30-60 min) before exhausting even a 3-man standby team, this is even more the case for active compression-decompression CPS (ACD-CPS) using the ResQPump (formerly the Ambu CardioPump). Even in the conventional medical setting of [...]
Load distributing band CPS
The Autopulse presents an alternative to the (high impulse) active compression-decompression devices that cryonics organizations currently employ to provide cardiopulmonary support (CPS) during stabilization. The Autopulse uses batteries instead of compressed oxygen and is easy to set up and operate. Disadvantages include its cost, limited patient size range, and the modifications that cryonics organizations [...]
