Sudden Cardiac Arrest – Doc Fischer talks about CARL. in SWR-TV
It can happen to anyone at any time. Around 65,000 people in Germany suffer from cardiac arrest every year. The time and duration of resuscitation efforts are crucial factors that directly impact the chances of neurologically intact survival.
The SWR-health programme ‘Doc Fischer’ explains the causes of sudden cardiac arrest and how the new CARL-Therapy can improve survival rates, both in- and out-of-hospital.
Prof. Georg Trummer from the Medical Center – University of Freiburg, and Prof. Christoph Benk, Chief Technology Officer at Resuscitec, explain the advanced extracorporeal circulation therapy developed specifically for resuscitation use.
20 years of research and development result into a unique ad hoc patient-monitoring of relevant vital parameters to perform a patient-individualized, controlled and automated reperfusion of the whole body. For patients, this means an improved chance of neurologically intact survival after refractory cardiac arrest.
