ABSTRACT:
A method of treating a subject in cardiac arrest comprises the steps of blocking the descending aorta of the subject and perfusing the aortic arch of the subject with a protective solution in an amount effective to deliver oxygen to the heart of the subject. The perfusing step is performed so that the protective solution infuses the aorta in a pulsatile rhythm. An apparatus for carrying out this method includes a storage unit for storing a protective solution, delivery apparatus for delivering the protective solution to the aorta of the subject, wherein the delivery apparatus is fluidly connected with said storage means, and a pulsing device connected with the delivery means. The pulsing device induces the protective solution to be delivered to the aorta in a pulsatile rhythm.
