CHEST COMPRESSION DEVICE WITH PLUNGER ADJUSTING PATIENT CONTACT SITE DURING COMPRESSIONS

摘要

A Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (“CPR”) device can include a compression mechanism configured to perform successive CPR compressions on a chest of a patient, the compression mechanism including a piston and a contact member attached to the piston, the contact member configured to make and maintain contact with the chest at a first position and a first orientation. The CPR device can also include a controller communicatively coupled with the compression mechanism, the controller configured to: receive at least one input; determine whether the piston should be adjusted based on the at least one input; and responsive to a determination that the piston should be adjusted, cause the piston to move so that the contact member makes and maintains contact with the chest at a second position and a second orientation.
