Automatic 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 کاملThe physiology of external cardiac massage: high-impulse cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
In intact chronically instrumented dogs, left ventricular dynamics were studied during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Electromagnetic flow probes measured cardiac output and coronary blood flow, ultrasonic transducers measured cardiac dimensions, and micromanometers measured left ventricular, right ventricular, aortic, and intrathoracic pressures. The dogs were anesthetized with morphine,...
متن کاملRight atrial laceration. Complication of external cardiac massage.
Right atrial laceration is described as a complication of external cardiac massage in two patients. In each there was a pre-existent cause of weakness of the atrial wall. There was pronounced right atrial dilation with attenuation of the wall in one case, and in the other there was a granulomatous myocarditis involving the atrial wall. The significance of atrial laceration as a complication of ...
متن کاملClosed-chest cardiac massage.
or as ventricular fibrillation, the circulation must be restored promptly; otherwise anoxia will result in irreversible damage. There are two techniques that may be used to meet the emergency: one is to open the chest and massage the heart directly and the other is to accomplish the same end by a new method of closed-chest cardiac massage. The latter method is described in this communication. T...
متن کاملAortic pressures during closed-chest cardiac massage.
RESUSCITATION by cardiac massage through the closed chest has been described recently by Kouwenhoven and associates.1 This technic consists of applying firm, rhythmic pressure to the lower sternum, thus compressing the heart between it and the spine. Based on exhaustive animal experiments, this method was instrumental in the effective cardiac resuscitation of 20 patients reported by the authors...
