CPR CHEST COMPRESSION SYSTEM WITH DYNAMIC PARAMETERS BASED ON PHYSIOLOGICAL FEEDBACK

摘要

A CPR system includes a retention structure to retain the patient's body, and a compression mechanism to perform CPR compressions to the patient's chest. The CPR system further includes a processor to control the compression mechanism, and thus the performance of the CPR compressions. In embodiments, the CPR system compresses at a rate or frequency that is varied based on feedback gathered from physiological sensors that detect physiological characteristics of the patient during treatment.

1. A Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) system that is usable by a rescuer to care for a patient, the CPR system comprising:
an automated compression mechanism configured to perform CPR compressions to a chest of the patient, the CPR compressions being described by one or more parameters; a plurality of physiological sensors operative to measure, when affixed, physiological characteristics of the patient, the physiological characteristics being indicative of an effect introduced to the patient by the CPR compressions, each physiological sensor being further configured to output a physiological value determined from the physiological characteristics; and a processor in operative communication with the compression mechanism and the plurality of physiological sensors, the processor being configured to determine an index derived from the physiological values output by the plurality of physiological sensors and to control the CPR compressions by varying one or more of the one or more parameters during treatment based on the index.
