CA 2334723

The invention provides exemplary devices and methods for increasing cardiopulmonary circulation when performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In one exemplary method, a patient's chest is actively compressed during a compression phase. At least some of the respiratory muscles are stimulated to contract during a decompression phase to cause an increase in the magnitude and duration of negative intrathoracic pressure during the decompression phase. In this way, the amount of venous blood flow into the heart and lungs is enhanced.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés qui permettent d'augmenter la circulation cardiorespiratoire en cours de réanimation cardiorespiratoire. Selon une variante, on comprime activement le thorax du patient durant une phase de compression. Au moins une partie des muscles respiratoires sont stimulés, de manière à engendrer leur contraction pendant ladite phase de compression, ce qui entraîne une augmentation de l'ampleur et de la durée de la pression intrathoracique négative au cours de la phase de décompression. On augmente ainsi le volume de sang veineux revenant dans le coeur et dans les poumons.
