ElevatedCPR therapy is a broad, patent-protected, technologically-advanced method of performing device-assisted head up CPR that could potentially improve survival from cardiac arrest. ElevatedCPR therapy incorporates lifting the head, heart, and thorax in a multi-angled incline, in a timed sequence, in conjunction with the best practice standards of resuscitation protocols. Preclinical evidence shows a number of benefits associated with this therapy relative to intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CerPP) and coronary perfusion pressure (CorPP).

Founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2015 by an experienced team that previously developed multiple novel resuscitation technologies currently in widespread clinical practice, AdvancedCPR Solutions (formerly Minnesota Resuscitation Solutions) is an early stage medical device firm focused on the development and commercialization of ElevatedCPR therapy delivery mechanisms, methods and devices to potentially improve survival of cardiac arrest.
