External cardiac compression.
gives a welcome opportunity to discuss the use of external cardiac resuscitation by personnel of the Electricity Supply Industry. The dangers of this technique have been pointed out by Baringer et al. (1961) and by Clark (1962). As a result of the paper by Baringer and his colleagues, both the Lancet (1961) and the British Medical Journal (1961) carried leading articles counselling against the ...
متن کاملAutomatic External Cardiac Massage: a Portable Pneumatic External Cardiac Compression Machine.
Massage or manual compression of the heart is accepted as a useful procedure when heart action has ceased because of accident or temporarily disordered function. Experience in the operating theatre has shown that manual massage through the open chest should be maintained for over an hour before being abandoned, but the procedure is tiring, and the operator must be relieved at frequent intervals...
متن کاملPulmonary angiography with external cardiac compression in fatal pulmonary embolism.
rupture owing to high pressure or damage to the septa the air passes through the lower-pressure alveolar sheaths to the mediastinum via the lung roots. Passage of air from the mediastinum to the neck or retroperitoneal space tends to decompress the mediastinum. The appearance of subcutaneous emphysema in the neck in respiratory disorders usually indicates the presence of a pneumomediastinum. In...
متن کاملPediatric Mechanical Support with an External Cardiac Compression Device.
The PediBooster external cardiac compression device is a minimally invasive, non-blood contacting Biventricular Assist Device (BiVAD) intended for pediatric use. It is being developed as a palliative therapy for acute Postcardiotomy Shock (PCS). The PediBooster extracardiac wrap is pneumatically actuated to circumferentially compress the heart, providing co-pulsation support. Attachment is via ...
متن کاملExternal compression increases forearm perfusion.
Application of compression stockings to the lower extremities is a widely used therapeutic intervention to improve venous return, but there is little information about the effects of compression on local arterial perfusion. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that a positive external pressure increases forearm perfusion. The relation of increasing external pressure induced by standardized compr...
