Abstract
The development of technical assist devices in the context of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) reaches back to the early roots of modern resuscitation research. This article covers the subjects of extracorporeal CPR (ECPR), including extracorporeal life support (ECLS), emergency ECLS (EECLS) and mechanical resuscitation devices. Specifically, the potential use of active compression-decompression CPR (ACD-CPR), impedance threshold devices (ITD) and capnography as additional measures during resuscitation are described in detail. Furthermore, the article presents a compact preview of the potential future developments of technical aids in the field of life support and postresuscitation care.Keywords: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; Heart arrest; Heart massage, mechanical; Microdialysis
