Abstract : Coronary Pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the popular strategies to recover life after a cardiac arrest. However, its success rate is very low. Subsequently, various strategies are there to improve its efficiency, which can be improved by targeted pharmacotherapy and mechanical assistance. For that, here a combination model design is proposed. The design contains, (1) an abdominal tourniquet, (2) a 3D printed drug-delivering endotracheal tube and (3) a transdermal patch. The abdominal tourniquet is intended to reduce diaphragm expansion during chest compression in CPR. The drug-delivering oesophageal tube is to deliver a loading dose of drugs directly to the airway tube, while the transdermal patch is to deliver the sustained dose of the drug. Several technologies in this direction are possible the design-study identifies.
