Device and a method for providing resuscitation or suspended state in cardiac arrest

The device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the redistribution component comprises or consists of an aortic retrograde perfusion pump.

The device according to 6-12, further comprising a location safety mechanism comprising at least one first sensor capable of determining a biosignal which is characteristic for aorta of the patient and an electronic circuit configured to verify a position of the expansion member in aorta based on the biosignal.

The device according to any of the preceding claims, further comprising means for ultrasound imaging data in the guidance of the user.

The device according to any of the preceding claims, where the patient data includes parameters selected from the group consisting of:

• aortic blood pressure, aortic blood flow, duration of cardiac arrest, expiratory CO2, ECG, blood pressure, compression rate and depth, pulse, respiratory frequency, cardiac output redistribution degree, aortic O2 saturation or concentration, cerebral or peripheral saturation, temperature, fluid administered, pharmaceuticals administered, biochemical data, and ultrasound imaging.

The device according to any of the preceding claims, where the computer means is configured to receive input data from the redistribution component.

The device according to any of the preceding claims, further comprising a component attachable to the patient and being configured to administer fluids and drugs to the patient.

The device according to any of the preceding claims, further comprising an additional component from the group consisting of:

• a patient monitor, a vitals signs monitor, a watch, an external chest compression device, a respirator, an ECG monitor, a defibrillator, a pacemaker, a pH measurement device, an ultrasound device, an ECMO/ECLS device, a body cooling device, an infusion pump, a capnograph, a ventricular assist device, a dialysis device, touchscreen and/or telecommunications device.

The device according to any of the preceding claims, the redistribution component comprising of a component with the means for tilting the patient in a head down or head up tilt.

The device according to any of the preceding claims, further comprising means for a self-test system, double circuitry, and usage event data recording.

The device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the computer means communicates with at least one other therapeutic and/or monitoring device so as to allow coordination of the operation of said therapeutic devices and the device according to any one of the preceding claims.

A method for providing resuscitation or suspended state in a human cardiac arrest patient, said method comprising subjecting the patient to heart massage (chest compression) while at the same time ensuring redistribution of the cardiac output to preferentially supply blood to the brain and the heart.

The method according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising the use of any one of the following:

• active compression-decompression CPR, impedance threshold device, adenosine administration, controlled pauses in the CPR (e.g. compressions for 20 seconds, then a pause in compressions for 20 seconds.)

A method for providing resuscitation or suspended state through redistribution of cardiac output to increase supply to the brain and heart for a human in cardiac arrest or imminent cardiac arrest, the method comprising subjecting the patient to external chest compression while at the same time ensuring redistribution of the cardiac output accomplished by occlusion of the aorta caudal to the left subclavian artery, and comprising lowering the restriction on perfusion delivered to the brain and heart through the use of a vasodilator, hereunder specifically sodium nitroprusside or nitroglycerin, hereunder repetition in intervals of 2-10 minutes.

A method for stopping or reducing bleeding from tissue(s) or organ(s), hereunder during e.g. surgery or other situations where bleeding occur of said tissue(s) or organ(s), the method comprising inserting an occlusion device into a blood vessel, which supplies said tissue(s) or organ(s) with blood, wherein said occlusion device is reversibly expanded to occlude said blood vessel and wherein the pressure exerted by the expanded occlusion device on the wall of the blood vessel is adapted to be between 1 and 2 times the vascular pressure difference across the occlusion device.
