MEDICAL RADAR SYSTEM FOR GUIDING CARDIAC RESUSCITATION

摘要

Medical radar devices, including ultra-wideband (UWB) devices, for use in assisting and/or guiding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by indicating one or more of: compression depth, compression frequency, and a return to spontaneous circulation. The devices and methods described herein may use reflected energy applied to a patient's chest to determine cardiac motion and/or chest compression and provide feedback to the person applying the CPR. In some variations the device is incorporated as a part of another resuscitation device, such as a defibrillator or automatic compression device.

主权项

1. A device for determining the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) when applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the device comprising:
a surface configured to be placed against a patient's chest; an energy emitter and energy detector configured to emit energy from the surface into the patient; a processor coupled to the energy detector and energy emitter and configured to evaluate blood pressure from energy returning from the patient after being emitted into the patient; and an output configured to indicate the ROSC based on the blood pressure evaluation of the processor.
