Patent number: 8939922Abstract: A system and a method is disclosed for monitoring parameters during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including a compression measuring means, a ventilation measuring means and a processing means. If at least one of the measured values deviate from a respective reference range, the processing means provides an indication of the deviation. If more than one of the measured values deviate from a respective reference range, the deviations are prioritized with an indication being provided first to the deviation having a higher priority. The invention also regards a device for positioning on a patient's chest during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which measures compression and which comprises a feedback module for providing a tactile output related to the measurements.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2006Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Laerdal Medical ASInventors: Geir Strand, Helge Fossan, Kenneth George Morallee, Helge Myklebust, Rune Kristian Knutsen

Patent number: 8875708Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a ventilation device and method to be used on a patient during CPR. In one embodiment, the ventilation device comprises a housing having at least one opening for interfacing with a patient's airway, at least one valve configured to permit outflow of respiratory gases/air from the airway to ambient, a release mechanism for opening and closing an inlet passage to permit inflow of respiratory gases/air to the airway, and a control device for controlling the opening/closing of the inlet passage.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2009Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Laerdal Medical ASInventors: Jon Nysaether, Kenneth George Morallee, Joar Eilevstjonn

Patent number: 8034006Abstract: The present invention provides a CPR sensor that includes a thin and substantially flat flexible substrate having one or more sensor arrays, a power source, an output interface and a processor or analog circuit, all of which are disposed on the substantially flat flexible substrate. The substrate can be any shape (e.g., rectangular, circular, a polygon, an irregular shape that is decorative) and made from a polymer, metal film or other suitable material. Note that the substrate can be rigid or semi-flexible instead of flexible. A protective layer may cover the sensor array, the power source, and the processor or analog circuit. Alternatively, a protective covering can be used to encapsulate the device. The one or more sensor arrays measure one or more of the following compressions characteristics: compression depth, compression force, compression frequency and compression acceleration.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2007Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignees: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System, Laerdal Medical ASInventors: Zeynep Celik-Butler, John W. Priest, Carolyn L. Cason, Mary E. Mancini, Kenneth George Morallee, Helge Fossan

Publication number: 20080314386Abstract: A ventilation device is disclosed including a self-inflating bag which when compressed produces an outgoing flow, an inlet and an outlet and at least one valve connected to the inlet and/or outlet. The valve is disposed to control the flow out of the air outlet. One or more sensors positioned to sense air flow through the inlet or outlet produce outputs that are used by a controller to control opening and closing of the at least one valve to reduce hyperventilation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2007Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicant: Laerdal Medical ASInventors: Helge Myklebust, Kenneth George Morallee
