Schematic outline of the Controlled Integrated Resuscitation Device (CIRD) for the application of CARL. The Controlled Integrated Resuscitation Device (CIRD 1.0; ResuSciTec GmbH, Freiburg/Germany) provides continuous venous and arterial blood - gas monitoring (vBA and aBA). Gas-mixture and flow are adapted accordingly in a near closed-loop- fashion. Two blood pumps are used to provide high and pulsatile blood-flow during the reperfusion process while hypothermia is applied via the oxygenator offering immediate temperature-control of the body. The infusion-port on the venous-side of the CIRD is designed for fluid-replacement and supportive medication during the reperfusion-process
