Abstract:

In order to digitalize a new cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) called active compression-decompression CPR with enhanced external counterpulsation and inspiratory impedance threshold valve (AEI-CPR) , the hemodynamics of human body in the conditions of normal circulation, cardiac arrest and CPR were respectively simulated with computer model, and several CPR techniques, such as the standard CPR (S-CPR) , the active compres- sion-decompression CPR (ACD-CPR) , the standard CPR with enhanced external counterpulsation (SE-CPR) , and the AEI-CPR, were compared via simulation. The results indicate that (1) S-CPR generates a forward flow (FF) of 1.1 L/rain and a coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) of 30.2 mmHg, while those generated by ACD-CPR, SE- CPR and AEI-CPR are respectively 1.2 L/rain and 31.3 mmHg, 5.2 L/rain and 57.4 mmHg, and 5.6 L/rain and 57.6 mmHg ; (2) both the SE-CPR and the AEI-CPR greatly improve the forward flow ; and (3) AEI-CPR is of the best hemodynamic effect.
