A Randomized Controlled Study of the NEURESCUE Device as an Adjunct to Advanced Cardiac Life Support
The NEURESCUE device is the first intelligent balloon catheter for aortic balloon occlusion (ABO), an emergency technique that supercharges blood flow to the heart and brain within one minute from deployment. The catheter-based device is delivered via the femoral artery, temporarily inflating a soft balloon in the descending to redirect blood flow towards the upper body. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical safety and performance of Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) versus ACLS in combination with Aortic Balloon Occlusion (ABO) using the NEURESCUE device in subjects with cardiac arrest.
