ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The incidence and mortality of acute cardiovascular arrest have been consistently high for decades.OBJECTIVE:
How to improve the currently unsatisfactory outcome after resuscitation regarding survival and neurological, especially cerebral, sequelae? MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Development of a therapeutic approach to curtail ischemia/reperfusion injury in an animal model. Development of a device system optimized for resuscitation that can be used to implement controlled reperfusion of the whole body outside the hospital.RESULTS:
Establishment of CARL treatment in the clinic and in the treatment of OHCA patients. Transfer of the CARL treatment and system in a clinical observational study. First case reports in which patients survived OHCA without brain damage even after ischemia times up to 2â¯h.CONCLUSION:
CARL treatment is potentially suitable to treat patients suffering from cardiovascular arrest refractory to treatment even for prolonged periods.
