Intrathoracic Pressure Regulation Therapy

What is Intrathoracic Pressure Regulation?
Intrathoracic Pressure
Regulation (IPR) is a therapy
that enhances negative
pressure in the chest and has
been shown in studies to
effectively improve circulation
of blood to the brain and other
vital organs.1
Pressure and Natural Physiology
Intrathoracic Pressure
The body continually
regulates the circulation of
blood by using positive and
negative pressures inside
the thoracic cavity to
maintain equilibrium.
Positive vs. Negative Pressure
The thoracic cavity is like a bellows…
Positive Pressure
Negative Pressure

PUSHES air away

Creates a vacuum

Inhibits blood return

PULLS fluid and air in

Principle behind CPAP therapy

Principle behind IPR therapy
Normal Physiology
When you exhale (exhalation),
you create a slight positive
pressure, which…
 Forces air out
 Inhibits blood return to the
heart
 Increases intracranial
pressure (ICP)
Conversely when you inhale
(inspiration), you create a slight
negative pressure, which…
 Pulls air into lungs
 Returns blood to the chest
 Lowers ICP
Effect of Intrathoracic Pressure on Blood Flow
Respiration and
circulation are closely
linked. Dating back to
1967, we have known
there is an inverse
relationship between
intrathoracic pressure
and blood flow.
Intrathoracic Pressure (cmH2O)
As intrathoracic
pressure decreases...
blood flow increases.

Compensation and Decline
Normal Physiology - Compensation
The body regulates pressures as
part of its normal compensatory
response.
Under stress, such as when
exercising, one breathes harder,
faster, deeper; this…
•
Enhances negative
pressure in the thoracic
cavity
•
Lowers intracranial
pressure (ICP) to improve
blood flow to the brain
Body in Trouble
However, sometimes a body is
unable to adequately
compensate.
Example: Shock
1.
Heart rate increases in an effort
to maintain sufficient blood flow
2.
Intrathoracic pressure is
modulated in an effort to increase
perfusion
3.
Eventually, body is unable to
adequately compensate and
blood pressure drops
Result: Insufficient perfusion to
protect the brain and other vital
organs.
Intrathoracic Pressure Regulation (IPR)
Positive Pressure
Results:
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
and positive pressure ventilation (PPV)
are common and well accepted therapies
for pulmonary edema.
1.
Drives fluid out of the lungs
2.
Decreases preload
3.
Decreases cardiac output
4.
Decreases blood pressure
IPR = Negative Pressure
IPR leverages negative intrathoracic pressure to
enhance perfusion; studies1 have shown that it...
Enhances negative intrathoracic pressure2
(i.e. increases the vacuum in the chest), which...
① Draws more blood back to the heart3,7
(i.e. increases preload), which leads to increased
cardiac output and blood pressure
and
① Decreases intracranial pressure (ICP)4,5,6
which makes it easier to get blood into and out of
the brain (i.e. increases cerebral perfusion)

ResQPOD ITD
IPR Therapy is simply using the “other
side of pressure,” enhancing negative
pressure to improve perfusion.
Studies1 show that IPR Therapy:
 Enhances negative intrathoracic
pressure2
 Increases preload3
 Increases cardiac output3
 Increases blood pressure7
 Lowers ICP4,5
 Results in more forward cerebral blood
flow, better perfusion of the brain.6

How it Works
Enhances circulation in
patients undergoing CPR
during cardiac arrest
(profound shock)
Prevents the influx of air
during chest wall recoil to
enhance negative
intrathoracic pressure
Enhances circulation in
spontaneously breathing
patients with low blood
pressure (shock)
Creates a slight amount of
therapeutic resistance
during inhalation to
enhance negative
intrathoracic pressure

United States is for a temporary increase in blood circulation during emergency care, hospital, clinical,
and home use. Research is ongoing in the United States (US) to evaluate the longer-term benefits of
the ResQPOD and ResQGARD for other specific indications. The studies listed here are not intended
