Disclosed is a device for providing resuscitation or suspended state through redistribution of cardiac output to increase supply to the brain and heart for a patient, the device comprising an electrically controllable redistribution component in the form of a catheter, which is attachable to the patient and being configured to interact with the patient to provide redistribution of the cardiac output to increase supply to the brain and heart, the redistribution component following a predefined reaction pattern based on an electrical signal, and computer means configured to: receive a patient data which identifies physiological and/or anatomical characteristics of the patient and provide the electrical signal for the redistribution component based on the patient data or a standard response. The device also comprises means for detection of blood vessels and motorized means for introduction of the catheter into an artery. The device may provide mechanisms to protect the aorta and the remaining anatomy of the patient from inadvertent damage caused by the disclosed device in any usage scenario of either correct intended usage or unintended usage.
