“…Chronologically speaking, the "electro-pneumatic machine" developed by Harkins and Bramson (20) in 1961; the "portable pneumatic pump" developed by Nachlas and Siedband (21) in 1962; the "Beck-Rand external cardiac compression machine" developed by Safar et al (22) in 1963; the "cardiac massage machine" developed by Bailey and Browse in 1964 (23); and the "hospital mechanical pump" developed by Nachlas and Siedband (21) in 1965 were the first MCCDs to be invented. In later years, experiments were conducted with many manually operated devices such as the "cardio-massager, " "cardio-pulser, " pneumatical "iron heart, " and "Travenol LR50-90" (13,24).…”

“…It has a ventilator that is meant to be used in conjunction with chest compression (Figure 1a) (Michigan Instruments, USA). Mechanical piston-driven devices that are operated manually work with a lever system and are marketed under brand names such as the "Animax Mono" (Figure 1b) (AAT Alber Antriebstechnik GmbH, Albstadt, Germany) and the "CPR RsQAssist, " which employs an audio-visual metronome (10,13,24,26,29).…”

“…Currently, devices that work with this mechanism are marketed under commercial names such as the pneumatic Automated CPR Vest (Reax resuscitation device) and the pneumatic or electrical AutoPulse ( Figure 2). Studies show that the chest compression achieved all around the chest with the AutoPulse creates higher coronary perfusion pressure than sternal pressure (13,24,25,(29)(30)(31)(32)(33).…”

The provision of sufficient chest compression is among the most important factors influencing patient survival during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). One approach to optimize the quality of chest compressions is to use mechanical-resuscitation devices. The aim of this study was to compare a new device for chest compression (corpuls cpr) with an established device (LUCAS II). We used a mechanical thorax model consisting of a chest with variable stiffness and an integrated heart chamber which generated blood flow dependent on the compression depth and waveform. The method of blood-flow generation could be changed between direct cardiac-compression mode and thoracic-pump mode. Different chest-stiffness settings and compression modes were tested to generate various blood-flow profiles. Additionally, an endurance test at high stiffness was performed to measure overall performance and compression consistency. Both resuscitation machines were able to compress the model thorax with a frequency of 100/min and a depth of 5 cm, independent of the chosen chest stiffness. Both devices passed the endurance test without difficulty. The corpuls cpr device was able to generate about 10-40% more blood flow than the LUCAS II device, depending on the model settings. In most scenarios, the corpuls cpr device also generated a higher blood pressure than the LUCAS II. The peak compression forces during CPR were about 30% higher using the corpuls cpr device than with the LUCAS II. In this study, the corpuls cpr device had improved blood flow and pressure outcomes than the LUCAS II device. Further examination in an animal model is required to prove the findings of this preliminary study.
