PURPOSE OF REVIEW Over the past decade, the combination of active compression decompression (ACD) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and an impedance threshold device (ITD) has been shown to significantly increase vital organ perfusion pressures and survival rates in animals and humans. [] Key MethodRECENT FINDINGS Building upon animal studies that demonstrated the benefit of the ITD used with either ACD CPR or standard CPR (S-CPR), four prospective, randomized clinical trials with ACD/ITD CPR have been…
Mechanical devices for cardiopulmonary resuscitation
TLDR
Recent studies utilizing adjunct mechanical devices have not only revealed significant increases in the effectiveness of chest compressions, including improved hemodynamics in both animal models and human studies, but also improvements in short-term human survival in the clinical setting.
Use of the impedance threshold device in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
TLDR
The ease of use of this device, its ability to be incorporated into a mask and other airway devices, the absence of device-related adverse effects and few requirements in additional training, suggest that ITD may be a favorable new device for improving CPR efficiency.
Evolution and new perspective of chest compression mechanical devices.
Application of impedance threshold devices during cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation.
TLDR
This device is recommended as a way to improve hemodynamics during CPCR by enhancing venous return and avoiding hyperventilation, thereby increasing the likelihood of a successful resuscitation.
An updated systematic review and meta-analysis on impedance threshold devices in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation
TLDR
Exploratory analysis focusing on the combined use of impedance threshold devices with active compression-decompression suggests that this combo treatment may be useful to improve patient prognosis, with a neutral impact on clinically relevant outcomes.
Sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation: are we out of the box yet?
TLDR
A novel programmatic approach for providing ambulatory ECMO support to allow ongoing rehabilitation while awaiting lung transplant is described, demonstrating successful outcome in three patients with cystic fibrosis and end-stage respiratory failure requiring extracorporeal support for survival.
Mechatronic Hardware Tools for External Chest Compression in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
TLDR
The review considers the unassisted (manual) CPR methods; the existing devices for CPR are discussed, their advantages and disadvantages are described; the necessity to develop new complex smart mechatronic devices for external chest compression, drastically different from the existing systems, is justified.

Active compression-decompression : a new method of cardiopulmonary resuscitation
TLDR
ACD CPR is a simple manual technique that improved cardiopulmonary circulation in 10 patients during cardiac arrest and may have produced a return of spontaneous circulation in three patients refractory to standard measures.

TLDR
ACD CPR is a simple manual technique that improved cardiopulmonary circulation in 10 patients during cardiac arrest and may have produced a return of spontaneous circulation in three patients refractory to standard measures.
Effects of Active Compression-Decompression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation with the Inspiratory Threshold Valve in a Young Porcine Model of Cardiac Arrest
TLDR
The combination of ACD + ITV CPR significantly increased both coronary perfusion pressure and vital organ blood flow after prolonged standard CPR in this young porcine model of ventricular fibrillation.
Inspiratory impedance during active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a randomized evaluation in patients in cardiac arrest.
TLDR
Use of an inspiratory resistance valve in patients in cardiac arrest receiving ACD CPR increases the efficiency of CPR, leading to diastolic arterial pressures of >50 mm Hg.
Comparison of Standard Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Versus the Combination of Active Compression-Decompression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and an Inspiratory Impedance Threshold Device for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
TLDR
Compared with S-CPR, active compression-decompression CPR combined with an inspiratory impedance threshold device (ITD) improves vital organ blood flow during cardiac arrest and significantly improved short-term survival rates for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Active compression-decompression CPR improves vital organ perfusion in a dog model of ventricular fibrillation.
TLDR
It is concluded that ACD-CPR improves tissue perfusion and systemic hemodynamics compared with standard CPR and regional flows to the epicardium, endocardium, and midmyocardium as well as to the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes of the brain were all significantly improved by ACCPR.
Improving Active Compression-Decompression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation With an Inspiratory Impedance Valve
TLDR
This work tested the hypothesis that intermittent impedance to inspiratory gas exchange during the decompression phase of ACD CPR enhances vital organ blood flow and revealed significantly higher mean coronary perfusion pressures in the ITV.
Effects of active compression-decompression resuscitation on myocardial and cerebral blood flow in pigs.
TLDR
ACD CPR significantly increases myocardial and cerebral blood flow during cardiac arrest in the absence of vasopressor therapy compared with STD CPR, and organ blood flow and calculated perfusion pressures increased significantly in both the STD and ACD groups after epinephrine.
