Claude Beck, defibrillation and CPR - Dittrick Medical History Center
Claude Beck, defibrillation and CPR As medicine advanced and people lived longer, heart disease became a serious health issue. Claude Beck (1894-1971) pioneered heart surgery, especially operations to improve circulation in damaged heart muscles. He also devised ways to revive heart attack victims, including the defibrillator and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). In 1947 he successfully revived a patient for the first time.
