Noninvasive cardiac assist by extension of phase D compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (PCCPR).
The PCCPR technique was experimentally and theoretically extended to serve as a cardiac assist procedure, and the potential of this method as a cardiac assist device was studied. Preliminary studies in dogs verify the applicability of this technique.
