A percussive pulsing therapy device configured for delivering pulsating or intermittent airflow to a patient device, such as a patient vest. The percussive pulsed air device may have an airflow generator for controlling amplitude of the percussive pulsed air and a pulse frequency control module for controlling frequency of the percussive pulsed air. In some embodiments, the pulse frequency control module may have a rotatable fan blade, such as a circular fan blade having one or more cutout portions. In some embodiments, the rotating fan blade may have one or more channels configured to redirect percussive pulsed air. Moreover, a percussive pulsed air device of the present disclosure may have a dampening element flowably coupled to an inlet of the pulse frequency control module. In some embodiments, at least one inlets of the pulse frequency control module may be arranged on a different airflow plane than one or more outlets.

A wearable medical device, comprising: a garment configured to be worn about a torso of a patient; one or more sensors for detecting a characteristic of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) therapy; an output device; and a processor configured for processing information from the one or more sensors and providing, to the output device, information about the CPR therapy, wherein at least one of the one or more sensors is movably attached to the garment, the at least one sensor configured to be positioned to the center of the patient's chest prior to initiation of the CPR therapy.

A Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) device, consisting of two distinct masseurs for chest and abdomen and a monitoring system for displaying patient's vital symptoms. The chest masseur works in controllable depth and speed, while the abdominal masseur applies pressure on abdominal aorta and Inferior vena cava in a contradictory rhythm with the chest masseur rhythm. This action causes more effective massaging by preventing overflow of blood to non-vital organs and accelerating return of blood to heart.

An apparatus for reanimation of a patient that includes a plunger driven by a drive to perform a compressive massage on the patient's body, a position measuring device that measures the respective position of the plunger during its compressive massaging motion, and a holding device for the drive and the plunger.

A method for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes elevating the heart of an individual to a first height relative to a lower body of the individual. The lower body may be in a substantially horizontal plane. The method may also include elevating the head of the individual to a second height relative to the lower body of the individual. The second height may be greater than the first height. The method may further include performing one or more of a type of CPR or a type of intrathoracic pressure regulation while elevating the heart and the head. The first height and the second height may be determined based on one or both of the type of CPR or the type of intrathoracic pressure regulation.

An apparatus may be configured for documenting a code blue scenario when adhered to the chest of a subject undergoing resuscitation by sensing and transmitting information associated with the code blue scenario. Such information may include one or more of vital signs of the subject during resuscitation, information associated with chest movements of the subject during resuscitation, and audio information from an environment of the subject during resuscitation. A computing platform that is separate and distinct from the apparatus may provide code blue documentation conveying information related to the vital signs of the subject and derived from the audio information from the environment of the subject during resuscitation.

A device for the determination of at least one compression parameter during the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient. The device includes a compression unit adapted to move in accordance with the chest of a patient and a surface unit adapted to move in accordance with a surface supporting the patient. The compression unit has one of a signal component and reference component, the surface unit has the other of the signal component and the reference component. The device also includes a processor configured to determine a relative measurement between the compression unit and the surface unit using data derived from the signal component and the reference component. The processor is further configured to determine the at least one compression parameter based on the relative measurement. The determined at least one compression parameter takes into account any motion and/or displacement of the surface.

A medical apparatus communication system includes a first medical apparatus and a second medical apparatus. The first medical apparatus includes a first communicating unit which establishes a communication connection with the second medical apparatus to communicate with the second medical apparatus, and a first controlling unit which controls the first medical apparatus. The second medical apparatus includes a second communicating unit which establishes a communication connection with the first medical apparatus to communicate with the first medical apparatus, a second controlling unit which controls the second medical apparatus, and a second sound outputting unit which performs a sound output in accordance with a control of the second controlling unit. The second controlling unit controls the sound output of the second sound outputting unit in a predetermined timing after establishment of the communication connection between the first and second communicating units.
