  • Servo motor for CPR with decompression stroke faster than the compression stroke
    Patent number: 8007451
    Abstract: The invention regards a resuscitation system having a chest compression device to repeatedly compress the chest of a patient and thereafter cause or allow the chest to expand. The device includes an electric motor connected to a compression element. A controller is coupled to the electric motor and causes the motor to actuate the compression element according to a predetermined profile. The controller is further operable to draw the compression element away from a patient's chest upon detecting a malfunction.
    Type: Grant

  • Resuscitation system
    Publication number: 20080097534
    Abstract: A resuscitation system includes a chest compression device to repeatedly compress the chest of a patient and thereafter cause or allow the chest to expand. The resuscitation system also includes a defibrillator to apply electric impulses to the heart, a measuring device for measuring at least one characteristics of the resuscitation process, and a signal processor for controlling operation of the chest compression device and/or the defibrillator. The defibrillator may be an integrated or external device working in a master/slave relationship with the remaining system.
