The case of the chest compression in lifesaving status or that exercise status being the device which it measures and utilizes drop

摘要

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.
