  • Patent number: 8875708
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a ventilation device and method to be used on a patient during CPR. In one embodiment, the ventilation device comprises a housing having at least one opening for interfacing with a patient's airway, at least one valve configured to permit outflow of respiratory gases/air from the airway to ambient, a release mechanism for opening and closing an inlet passage to permit inflow of respiratory gases/air to the airway, and a control device for controlling the opening/closing of the inlet passage.

  • Patent number: 8465292
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward a system and method of determining real time chest compression depth of a CPR patient or manikin from acceleration and a reference signal, such as force. In one embodiment, an acceleration signal is filtered and integrated to determine a raw depth signal. A force signal is adjusted to having a similar amplitude, phase, and shape as the raw depth signal. The force signal is filtered. The adjusted force signal is subtracted from the filtered force signal to obtain a compensation signal. The chest compression depth is obtained by adding the raw depth signal to the compensation signal.

  • Patent number: 8192367
    Abstract: A device for monitoring respiration comprises a duct, a flow restricting element in the duct, and a pressure sensor arranged in the duct. The pressure sensor measures a pressure drop across the flow restricting element as a pressure difference between a pressure at a location in the duct on a first side of the flow restricting element and a substantially constant pressure on a second side of the flow restricting element opposite the first side.

  • Publication number: 20100036266
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a device and method for detecting heart beats and/or monitoring ventilation and/or respiration of a patient using air pressure. In one embodiment, a monitoring device comprises a gas duct and at least one pressure sensor configured to measure pressure in the duct. The duct may be in fluid communication with a patients airways. Based on the sensed pressure, a heart beat of the patient may be detected. In another embodiment, a flow rate of the air expired from the patient may be calculated based on the pressure and a known flow resistance.

  • Publication number: 20080215102
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is a method for recommending actions to be taken during resuscitation of a patient. Input signals related to the resuscitation are received during the resuscitation. The input signals are processed to generate output signals based on the input signals and predetermined criteria. The output signals are representative of the actions to be taken and are provided for further action.

  • Publication number: 20080146973
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for providing feedback regarding chest compressions in CPR comprises a measuring unit, a processing unit and a display unit, where the measuring unit comprises a depth measuring device, a force measuring device, or both. The processing unit comprises a depth signal device and/or a force signal device and a threshold device. The processing unit is structured to output a signal depending on the values of depth and/or force signals with respect to the thresholds. The display unit comprises at least one indicator and is structured to activate the indicators based on the output from the processing device. The system thus measures and processes chest compressions and provide feedback to the user with respect to the characteristics of the compressions.
