PEEL AND STICK CPR ASSISTANCE DEVICE

摘要

A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) assistance device (400) is described for use by a rescuer providing manual CPR. The device has a visual indicator (430, 418, 420, 422) arranged about its periphery, such that visual assistance to the rescuer can be provided regardless of the rescuer' s hand position. The CPR assistance device also includes a staged method of providing visual assistance, such that increasingly urgent information is provided if the sensed CPR accuracy fails to improve.

主权项

1. A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) assistance device comprising:
a substrate; an accelerometer mounted on the substrate and operable to detect motion related to a CPR chest compression; a force sensor mounted on the substrate and operable to detect a force related to the CPR chest compression; a controller mounted on the substrate and disposed in electrical communication with the accelerometer and force sensor; a translucent or transparent visual output layer disposed over the substrate and having an edge surface around its periphery, the visual output layer having a light with a first color controlled by the controller; and a top cover disposed over the visual output layer and disposed to provide an engagement surface between a rescuer's hands and the force sensor, wherein the light is operable to illuminate the peripheral edge surface of the visual output layer to assist in the application of CPR.
