Abstract
A method and apparatus for carrying out aortic occlusion along with oxygen carrying fluid infusion for use during CPR including the use of a specially constructed balloon catheter which, when inflated, occludes the aorta such that an oxygenated fluid infused through the catheter will be restricted to that part of the aorta above the balloon occlusion. The inner lumen of the catheter must have a diameter of at least two millimeters.
