What is the ResQCPR System? The performance of ResQCPR relies on the use of two devices: the ResQPOD® ITD 16, an impedance threshold device (ITD), in combination with active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACD-CPR), performed with the CardioPump® ACD-CPR Device. No other device on the market delivers true ACD-CPR with 10 kilograms (kg) of lift, which increases the chances of survival after cardiac arrest. ResQCPR™ System
Even though high-quality manual or automated CPR has been shown to increase survival, it provides only about 25%–40% of normal blood flow to the heart and brain.1
The ResQCPR devices work synergistically to deliver improved blood flow during cardiac arrest. By increasing the amount of blood returned to the heart (preload), and lowering intracranial pressure (ICP) during CPR, the ResQCPR System has been shown in human trials to deliver near-normal blood pressure.2,3 More importantly, a large clinical trial comparing conventional manual CPR to ResQCPR showed a 53% increase in neurologically intact survival to hospital discharge, and a survival benefit that persisted out to one year.4

Conventional CPR Limited Blood Flow Chest compression forces air out of the lungs and blood out of the heart. During chest wall recoil, air is drawn in and eliminates the vacuum (negative pressure) that is needed to fill the heart. Intracranial pressure (ICP) is also slightly lowered during this phase.

ResQPOD® ITD 16 The ResQPOD regulates ariflow during the chest wall recoil phase of CPR to enhance the vacuum in the patient’s chest. This increases preload and lowers intracranial pressure (ICP).
Using the ResQPOD on a Facemask 1. Connect the ResQPOD to a facemask. 2. Open the airway, lifting the jaw to facemask. Establish and maintain tight face seal with mask throughout chest compressions; a head strap and two-handed technique are recommended. 3. Connect the ventilation source to the top of the ResQPOD.
Using the ResQPOD on an Endotracheal (ET) Tube 1. Confirm ET tube placement and secure with a commercial tube restraint. 2. Connect ResQPOD to ET tube. 3. Place EtCO2 detector between ResQPOD and ventilation source (preferred). 4. Connect ventilation source to top of EtCO2 detector. 5. Turn on timing assist lights. Ventilate during active decompression phase (preferred) at timing light flash rate of 10/min.

compression-to-ventilation ratios. • Ventilate over 1 second until chest rises.
•C lear secretions from the ResQPOD by

CardioPump® ACD-CPR Device The CardioPump further enhances the effect of the ResQPOD by actively re-expanding the chest, rather than relying on it to passively recoil. It also promotes proper ResQCPR compression rates (80/minute), and helps guide compression and lifting forces.
Rescuer and CardioPump Positioning Kneel close to the patient’s side with shoulders directly over the patient’s chest. Place the CardioPump in the middle of the chest, between the nipples but above the xiphoid process. Shaving may be needed to achieve good suction.

Compress Compress to recommended depth (e.g., 2 inches or 5 centimeters). Observe the force required to achieve that depth, as it will vary according to how compliant the chest is. The tip of the red arrow indicates the force being applied. The approximate amount of force required to compress the chest 2 inches/5 centimeters is: • 30 kg: soft/supple chest • 40 kg: chest of average compliance • 50 kg: stiff/rigid chest Once the amount of force required is known, use that target as a guide for continued compressions. Arms should be straight with shoulders directly over the sternum. Bend at the waist and compress, using the entire upper body and large thigh muscles. Compress at a rate of 80/minute using the metronome (push button) as a guide. This rate allows for more filling time. Compress on one tone, lift on the other tone.
Lift To fully achieve the benefits of ACD-CPR, attempt to actively pull up until the tip of the red arrow on the force gauge registers ≈10 kg. Lift using the upper body and large thigh muscles, and bending at the waist. If the suction cup dislodges, pull up slightly less. It is not necessary to lift with more than 10 kg of force. The CardioPump is the only device that allows rescuers to deliver true ACD-CPR.
Performing High-Quality ResQCPR 1. Confirm absence of pulse and send for an AED. 2. Begin chest compressions with the CardioPump. 3. Attach the ResQPOD to a facemask, using a two-handed technique to maintain a tight facemask seal and airway position. Move it to the advanced airway once intubated, and turn on lights to guide ventilations. 4. Begin using both devices as soon as possible so that the patient receives the benefit of ResQCPR at the earliest opportunity. 5. Perform chest compressions at the recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio. Use a 50% duty cycle, spending equal time compressing and lifting. Avoid interruptions. 6. Use the force gauge to monitor forces and rescuer fatigue. Rotate ACD-CPR duties every two minutes (or more often) to avoid fatigue. 7. If the patient has a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), use of both devices should be discontinued. If the patient re-arrests, resume ResQCPR immediately. 8. NOTE: Signs and symptoms of improved cerebral blood flow (e.g., eye opening, gagging, spontaneous breathing, limb or body movement) have been reported in patients without a pulse who are undergoing ResQCPR. If these occur, check quickly to see if a pulse has returned. If the patient remains in cardiac arrest, continue ResQCPR and contact your medical control authority for guidance on managing these signs and symptoms in an arrested patient. If ROSC occurs, discontinue ResQCPR and support ventilations as indicated.
