Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is also known as the CPR which is combination of techniques including chest compressions. CPR is designed to pump the heart to get blood circulating and deliver oxygen to the brain until definitive treatment can stimulate the heart to start working again. A heart attack happens when part of the heart is starving of oxygen. A heart attack can ‘upset’ the heart and interrupt its rhythm and ability to pump. This is because the heart does not receive enough oxygen and cannot pump blood around the body. There is no heartbeat because the heart is not working. The medical term for a heart attack is an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The blood stops circulating, the brain is starved of oxygen and the person quickly becomes unconscious and stops breathing. Without treatment, the person will die therefore the market seems to be growing for the devices in coming future.
Segments:
The segmentation for the global cardiopulmonary resuscitation market is done on the basis of the product type, use and compressor type. The on the basis of the product type market is segmented as Piston, ACD (Active compression decompression), LDB (Load distributing band), ITD (Impedance threshold device), Phased thoracic-abdominal compression decompression device and Extracoporeal techniques and Perfusion Devices. On the basis of the use the market is segmented into ambulance, hospitals, clinics, cardiac catheterization laboratories, Organ transplant units. On the basis of the compression type the market is segmented into automatic CPR and manual CPR. Further the automatic CPR devices are sub segmented into mechanically actuated & battery operated, fully battery operated and pneumatic operated.
