title: [Device for a single-operator resuscitation].
abstract: A simple type of reanimation equipment is described which - independent of energy supply - makes it possible for a single operator to perform complete mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The apparatus is placed on the distal half of the sternum of the supine patient and connected to the respiratory tract via a connecting tube. Inspiration occurs by depressing the apparatus, while the subsequent expiration is followed by cardiac massage by means of depressing the apparatus. This new method has proved itself effective in three patients with acute cardiocirculatory arrest.
