ABSTRACT:
A patient (10) having cardiocirculatory arrest is resuscitated using a supple band (12) that is passed around the thorax (14). The thorax is clasped at its side portions, for example, between contoured band-guide assemblies (16 and 18), one (16) being fixed and the other (18) adapted for traversing movement. The band is guided, as by the assemblies (16 and 18), over the clasped portions of the thorax so that a tautening of the band exerts the clasping action and produces force components (62, 64, 66, 68) directed inwardly of the thorax around a major portion of its periphery. The band is alternately tautened and loosened, for example, using a pull roller (72) driven manually through a torque-measuring wrench handle (110) or by a motor device (170). The tautness of the band may be limited as by an adjustable mechanical stop arrangement (128, 130, 132).
