  • Appliance for cardiopulmonary massage and/or resuscitation
    Patent number: 9956135
    Abstract: The appliance according to the invention serves for cardiopulmonary massage and/or resuscitation of a patient and is provided with a massage device (17) which can be driven reversibly by a drive device (18) in an actuation direction (23) and which has a pressure area (20) that can be positioned on the chest (12) of a patient (11) at a target contact area (21). In order to ensure that deviations of the pressure area of the massage device from a target pressure point can be determined promptly and reliably, the invention proposes a position sensor device (22), for determining changes in the position of the massage device (17) and/or of the pressure area (20) thereof relative to the target contact area (21) on the chest (12) of the patient in a plane normal to the actuation direction (23) of the massage device (17).

  • Defibrillator circuit and electrodes therefor
    Patent number: 4566457
    Abstract: Defibrillator electrode and electrical circuit for generating pulses of energy at the electrodes of a defibrillator comprises an energy storage means, and a switch for supplying energy to the electrodes from the storage means, when the switch is closed. A shunt switch is connected in parallel with the energy storage means, and to a junction on the output side of the supply switch, to form a safety circuit. The shunt switch has a normally closed condition in which it shunts the electrodes, being opened only for the duration of the shock treatment.
