The early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) measures by non-professionals before the arrival of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is known to be crucial for improving outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We assessed the impact of deploying CPR-trained volunteers via a smartphone-based alerting system on the outcome of OHCA patients. In a retrospective nonrandomized cohort study, all OHCA cases in the city of Aachen over a six-year period were analysed.

- Artificial organs like oxygenators and dialyzers struggle with uneven flow distribution, leading to clot formation and reduced efficiency.
- This study introduces triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) to enhance flow distribution and examines their impact on blood coagulation through computational fluid dynamics and blood testing.
- Results show that TPMS, especially anisometric designs, improve flow distribution and significantly reduce blood clotting compared to traditional tubular designs, while also allowing for customizable inner surfaces for better functionality.
