Abstract: An automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACPR) device includes a compression element for acting on a compression location on a chest of a patient, and an optical alignment aid configured and arranged for projecting, at least temporarily, a light pattern on the patient's chest. The light pattern projected by the optical alignment aid guides the user during the placement procedure of the ACPR device. The light pattern projected by the optical alignment aid allows the user to monitor whether the position of the automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation device has moved during the administration of CPR.

Abstract: A Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) device (CPD) for performing CPR on a patient (PT). A supporting structure (L1, L2, F) with two legs (L1, L2) shaped to accommodate space for the patient's (PT) thorax between them. The legs (L1, L2) have clamp mechanisms (CL1, CL2) to allow clamping onto a backboard (BB). A compression box (CB) with a plunger mechanism (PM) with a contact pad (CP) projecting downwards from the enclosure (CS), and a processor (P) for controlling the plunger mechanism (PM) to perform CPR on the patient (PT) in an automatic manner. A height adjustment mechanism (H) is used to fix a height (h) of the compression box (CB) relative to the supporting structure (L1, L2, F). The height adjustment mechanism (H) can allow the compression box (CB) to move in relation to the supporting structure (L1, L2, F) in a first operating state, by help of gravity.

Abstract: A pad device for the transfer of force to an anterior chest wall during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes at least two pad elements adapted to be positioned on an anterior chest wall surface, a hinge mechanism connecting the at least two pad elements, the at least two pad elements being movably mounted to the hinge mechanism, such that the hinge mechanism cooperatively responds to a force applied when the patient is receiving a CPR.

Abstract: Automated CPR unit comprising an extendable cover system including a cover dispenser (55) and a cover (50), the cover comprising a sleeve having a first closed end and a second end being connected to the cover dispenser, whereby the cover can be extended.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated CPR device for performing automated chest compressions of a patient. The CPR device is provided with display processing electronics for processing information data so that display content associated with the information data can be displayed in different rotated orientations so that the information can be oriented correctly relative to a user's viewing direction. The CPR device is configured with an orientation button for activating rotation of the displayed information. The orientation button is configured so that the location of the button relative to display content, at least along a single dimension, is the same. For example, the orientation button may be located adjacent to the middle of an edge of the display so that the button remains located adjacent to information located in the center of the display irrespective of the displayed orientation of the information, irrespective of the two orientations.

Abstract: A backboard for an automated cardio pulmonary resuscitation system, said backboard comprising a board element, the board element defining a plane and having a top edge, a bottom edge a first side edge and a second side edge; a set of connectors adapted for connection of the backboard to an automated cardio pulmonary resuscitation unit, said connectors being provided at said side edges; and at least one set of stabilizing elements extending away from an edge and transversely to said plane.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a pad device for the transfer of force to an anterior chest wall during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), comprising at least two pads elements adapted to be positioned on an anterior chest wall surface, a hinge mechanism connecting the at least two pad elements, the at least two pad elements being movably mounted to the hinge mechanism, such that the hinge mechanism cooperatively responds to a force applied when the patient is receiving a CPR.

Abstract: A blood flow control device, comprising a flow influencing element arranged to be placed in the vena cava of a human during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and controllable between a non-to-low-flow state in which the flow influencing element substantially reduces a blood flow within the vena cava, and a flow state, in which the flow influencing element allows substantially unreduced blood flow, responsive to an existing or a predicted pressure difference between an upstream area and a downstream area of the flow influencing element. The blood flow control device is capable of reducing retrograde blood flow during the compression phase of CPR and thus improves the efficiency of CPR and blood perfusion. The blood flow control device can also be used for the administration of drugs almost directly to the heart, as well as for measuring physiological and chemical properties, such as blood gases.
