NEURESCUE Device as an Adjunct to In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (ARISE)

A Feasibility Study of the NEURESCUE Device as an Adjunct to In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

The NEURESCUE device is the first intelligent catheter for aortic balloon occlusion, an emergency technique that supercharges blood flow to the heart and brain within one minute from deployment.

The catheter-based device is delivered via the femoral artery, temporarily inflating a soft balloon in the descending aorta to redirect blood flow towards the upper body.

The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the NEURESCUE device as an adjunct to Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) in adults with cardiac arrest.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥18 and ≤80 years
2. CPR initiated within 7 min of presumed arrest
3. 8 min of continuous ACLS without ROSC

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Traumatic cardiac arrest
2. Intraoperative cardiac arrest
3. Known pregnancy
4. Known terminal disease
5. Known do-not-attempt-CPR order
6. Subjects whose femoral arterial access site cannot accommodate an 8 Fr introducer sheath
7. Subjects currently on mechanical circulatory support
