摘要:
The present invention provides a CPR sensor that includes a thin and substantially flat flexible substrate having one or more sensor arrays, a power source, an output interface and a processor or analog circuit, all of which are disposed on the substantially flat flexible substrate. The substrate can be any shape (e.g., rectangular, circular, a polygon, an irregular shape that is decorative) and made from a polymer, metal film or other suitable material. Note that the substrate can be rigid or semi-flexible instead of flexible. A protective layer may cover the sensor array, the power source, and the processor or analog circuit. Alternatively, a protective covering can be used to encapsulate the device. The one or more sensor arrays measure one or more of the following compressions characteristics: compression depth, compression force, compression frequency and compression acceleration.

System for measuring parameters during chest compression in a life-saving situation or a practice situation, in which a pressure pad containing e.g. an accelerometer and a force activated switch (SW), as well as a calculation unit (B), is positioned on a patients chest, alternatively on or inside a manikin's chest, in order to register parameters such as depression distance, duration or rate of depressions during chest compression, in a life-saving situation or a practice situation. The accelerometer may be installed on a printed circuit board arranged at right angles on the pressure pad that is to be positioned on a patient's or manikin's chest, or the printed circuit board may be placed inside the manikin's chest. The pressure pad may be provided with markings on the top surface for guidance regarding placement on a patient's or a manikin's chest. The pressure pad or a unit connected to the pressure pad contains a calculation unit (B) for calculation of the compression depthin dependence on the acceleration values. The pressure pad may contain a separate information unit, for instance consisting of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), or the sensor unit may have an outlet that can be connected to a display unit such as a screen, for display of a curve showing compression depth(Sn) versus time, possibly together with other signals such as the ECG curve and inflation. Said outlet may in addition form an interface to a computer and/or a modem.

摘要:
The invention relates a chest compressing device, comprising a power source, a compressing element connected to the power source and a controller, characterised in that it comprises: an electric motor connected to the power source, the controller and the compressing element, and that the controller controls the motor so as to make the compressing element apply compressions with desired/pre-defined characteristics. The invention relates also to a method for controlling CPR.
