Animal tests have indicated that providing venous-arterial (V-A) bypass extracorporeal circulation immediately after cardiac arrest is a useful resuscitation technique for achieving resumption of a normal cardiac function and brain resuscitation. However, pulsation of the femoral artery cannot be felt in the case of cardiac arrest, and it takes a long time to puncture the femoral artery and vein. We developed a comb needle that has five 18-gauge metallic needles fixed in parallel on a plastic board. In this study, we investigated whether the comb needle would achieve puncturing of the femoral artery and vein in cadavers.
