  • Patent number: 11666506
    Abstract: Devices and methods for compressing a chest of a patient includes a platform for placement under a thorax of the patient, a compression belt for extending over an anterior chest wall of the patient, a drive train operably connected to the compression belt, a motor operably connected to the compression belt through the drive train, and a control system configured to control operation of the motor to cause the drive train to tighten and loosen the compression belt in repeated cycles of compression about the thorax of the patient. Each cycle of the repeated cycles includes tightening the compression belt around the chest of the patient after tightening, causing, by the control system, the motor to cease operation of the drive train for a hold period; and at a termination of the hold period, loosening the compression belt around the chest of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20220151866
    Abstract: A system for assisting cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment of a patient includes a defibrillator system including a defibrillator communicatively coupled to a local computing device and configured to receive signals from treatment sensors, a patient support section, and a tilt adjuster coupled to the patient support section. The tilt adjuster is configured to communicatively couple with the defibrillator system, receive a control signal indicative of a target tilt angle from the local computing device, and automatically tilt the patient support section, around a transverse axis, to the target tilt angle in response to the control signal from the local computing device. The system also includes a chest compression device mount disposed on the patient support section and configured to adjustably secure a chest compression device to the patient support section.

  • Publication number: 20210322265
    Abstract: A medical resuscitation system includes a platform for releasable coupling to a patient for delivery of mechanical chest compressions, the platform having sensor(s) for monitoring aspect(s) of compression delivery, and processing circuitry configured to control the delivery chest compressions during a patient therapy session; receive, during the session, signals from each sensor; and store, to a memory, operational data collected for use by an authorized user in troubleshooting a problem with the platform and/or gathering historic data regarding use of the platform, and clinical metrics regarding the delivery of the compressions during the session, where the clinical metrics are collected for use in a summary report accessible to a clinical user. The summary report may be transferred to a server or a portable computer readable medium. The operational data may be transferred to an accessory unit or data integrator configured to cooperate with the platform for providing the therapy.
