  • Patent number: 12245983
    Abstract: A CPR chest compression machine includes a retention structure that is configured to retain a body of the patient, and a compression mechanism. The compression mechanism is coupled to the retention structure and configured to perform successive compressions to the patient's chest. Various types of chest compressions may be performed on a patient during a single resuscitation event. Some embodiments also include a driver configured to drive the compression mechanism. The compression mechanism may thus perform chest compressions that differ from each other in a number of aspects, for example the depth of the compressions or the height of the active decompressions between the compressions. Some embodiments also include an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism may shift the compression mechanism with respect to the patient so that the chest compressions are performed at different locations of the patient's chest.

  • Patent number: 12186481
    Abstract: A hypoxic training system is provided that dynamically adjusts the oxygen ratio in the gas provided to the user during a hypoxic training session based on the blood oxygen saturation (SPO2) level of the user. During a first training period, the hypoxic training system provides gas according to a first oxygen ratio. When it is determined that the SPO2 level of the user has reached a target SPO2 level, the hypoxic training system may provide a recovery period, during which gas according to a second oxygen ratio is provided to the user. When it is determined that the SPO2 level of the user has fallen more than a predetermined threshold below the target SPO2 level during the recovery period, the hypoxic training system may provide gas according to an increased first oxygen ratio during a subsequent training period.

  • Patent number: 12186263
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a deep vein thrombosis (“DVT”) device that is portable, tubeless, and battery-operated, which ensures that the patient will have maximum mobility during recovery. The DVT device provides a pneumatically controlled bladder portion, which is actuated by an electronically controlled air pump, where the pump/bladder combination is enclosed in a “pocket” of a wrap or cuff during use. All pump, battery, and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case that is permanently attached to the bladder portion. Once the pump/bladder combination is placed in the “pocket” the wrap or cuff will be sealed. The wraps or cuffs are single use, disposable garments designed to provide an absorbent barrier during use, where the bladder portion and air pump remain clean during use and can be reused by the patient or hospital staff. Tabs or extensions may be used to secure the pump/bladder combination after insertion into the “pocket” of the wrap or cuff.
