This talk will present optimal control of a circulation model which is discrete in time. The system of seven difference equations models cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The goal is to design external chest and abdomen pressure patterns to improve the blood flow in the heart in CPR procedures. Numerical illustrations will be given.
