  • elevating one or both of the torso and head of an individual to an angle greater than zero degrees relative to horizontal;

    performing CPR by repeatedly compressing the chest, whereby elevation of the one or both of the torso and head assists to lower intracranial pressure and increase cerebral perfusion pressure during the performance of CPR, andregulating the intrathoracic pressure of the individual while performing CPR using an impedance threshold device positioned to the airway of the individual to create a negative pressure within the chest during a relaxation phase of CPR.
