Patent number: 11376189Abstract: A chest compression monitor for measuring the depth of chest compressions achieved during CPR. A sensor of the chest compression monitor is disposed within its housing such that compression of the housing due to CPR compressions, and its resultant deformation, is detected by the sensor and used by the control system as the starting point for calculating chest compression depth based on an acceleration signal indicative of the downward displacement of the chest.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Gideon Butler, Gary A Freeman

Publication number: 20190374429Abstract: Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. The system includes a chest compression device having force sensing capabilities, for providing feedback in enhancing the quality of acute care. The force sensor(s) may exhibit varying resolutions over different dynamic force ranges, for example, to provide information helpful to the resuscitative treatment. Chest compression devices that are able to sense force may be able to assist a system in providing accurate chest compression depth and rate information, as well as assess the amount of work exerted by one or more rescuers during the course of resuscitation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2018Publication date: December 12, 2019Inventors: Paolo Giacometti, Gideon Butler, Frederick J. Geheb, Gary A. Freeman
