Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and device for performing external counterpulsation. The external counterpulsation device can include a cuff including a body, a first end, and a second end. In some examples, the external counterpulsation device includes a removable tubular connector, a removably attached bladder, and a securing material extending across a length of the body of the cuff. The external counterpulsation device also includes a u-shaped buckle having a first arm, a second arm, and an opening. The first arm is configured to extend through the opening of the first end of the cuff and the second arm is configured to form a roller. The opening of the buckle is formed between the first arm and the second arm and is configured to allow the body of the cuff to extend through the u-shaped buckle.

A cardiopulmonary resuscitation assisting apparatus including: an acceleration sensor (13); a magnetic sensor (19); a first calculation section (233A) which obtains a relational expression (N) between a compression depth Da and the coil-to-coil distance AD; a determination section (234) which differentiates the relational expression (N) with respect to an output value of the magnetic sensor (19) and compares a resulting differentiated value of the relational expression (N) with a predetermined threshold to thereby determine whether notification for assistance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is necessary or not; and a voice generating section (25) which performs the notification for assistance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

A compression device may include a compression plunger in operable communication with a fulcrum assembly and housing assembly in operable communication with a stepper assembly. The compression device may be constructed and arranged to allow a user to administer CPR to a patient by stepping on a portion of the stepper assembly to generate hydraulic power that may be utilized to move the compressor plunger to apply compressive force to the patient's chest. The compression device may include a housing assembly and fulcrum assembly constructed and arranged to provide for variable height and width such that patients of varying sizes can be accommodated and may receive CPR.

Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. A method for managing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment to a person in need of emergency assistance includes monitoring, with an electronic medical device, a parameter that indicates a quality level of a CPR component being provided to the person by a user; determining, with the electronic medical device, that the parameter indicates that the quality level of CPR being provided is inadequate; and providing, to one or more rescuers of the person, an audible, visual, or tactile indication that a different person should perform the CPR component.

The invention relates to a sensor device for capturing data when carrying out first aid measures for reanimating a person affected by a cardiac arrest. The sensor device is exactly positioned on the chest of the patient by means of a positioning-aid apparatus (5) and affixed by means of a fastening means (2). The thorax compressions, i.e., the pressing-in depth and compression frequency, are detectable by means of a motion sensor. A data-transfer interface allows communication, e.g. wireless communication, with a mobile terminal.

The device according to the invention is used for a cardiopulmonary massaging and/or resuscitation of a patient and is provided with a massage stamp (17) which can be reversibly driven by a drive device in an actuation direction (18) and which has a pressure surface (31) that can be positioned at a contact region on the chest (12) of a patient (11). In order to ensure that the chest compressions are interrupted upon reaching a specified compression force, the massage stamp (17) has a stamp upper part (19) and a stamp lower part (20) which is operatively connected to the stamp upper part (19). The stamp upper part (19) and the stamp lower part (20) can be adjusted relative to each other in the actuation direction (18) at least between a first position which defines a working length (L) and a second position in which an effective length (1) of the massage stamp (17) is shortened compared to the working length (L). In the first position, the stamp upper part (19) is locked with the stamp lower part (20) by means of a releasable locking mechanism (21) and the locking mechanism (21) is released upon reaching or exceeding a specified compression force transmitted by the massage stamp (17).

A system for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance is provided. The system includes at least one camera configured to be mounted to a person in need of medical assistance. The system also includes an image processing device, which can be configured to receive images captured by the at least one camera and to process the images to generate a representation of a rescue scene surrounding the person. The system further includes an analysis device. The analysis device can be configured to determine a characteristic associated with a resuscitation activity based on analysis of the representation of the rescue scene generated by the image processing device. A computer-implemented method for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance is also provided.

A defibrillation system may include a cardiac arrest detector detecting whether cardiac arrest of a passenger has occurred in a state of taking a seat of a self-driving vehicle and fastening a seatbelt of the vehicle; a passenger posture detection device detecting a posture of the passenger; a seat driving device changing the posture of the passenger into another posture in which the passenger lies down based on a detection signal of the passenger posture detection device when the cardiac arrest of the passenger occurs; a heart position detector configured to search for a position of a heart of the passenger; a defibrillation robot to perform a CPR method or a method using an AED on the heart of the passenger; and a controller controlling operation of the seat driving device, the heart position detector, and the defibrillation robot based on detection signals of the cardiac arrest detector and the passenger posture detection device.

Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided that may include a system for patient monitoring and defibrillation. The system may include at least two defibrillation electrodes. The system may further include a first unit for physiological monitoring of a patient, including ECG monitoring circuitry for monitoring ECG of the patient. The first unit may store CPR chest compression data. The system may further include a second unit, separate from the first unit, which may communicatively couple with the first unit, for providing defibrillation pulses to the patient. The second unit may include a processor, communicatively coupled with the at least two defibrillation electrodes, for providing defibrillation pulses to the patient via the at least two defibrillation electrodes.

A device for cardio-pulmonary resuscitation of a patient includes a support base, a swivel support, a mask holder and two lateral support elements. The support base is wedge-shaped in order to support the patient. There are guiding means and swivel elements provided in the support base and in the swivel support. The device makes it possible to adjust the position of the mask holder both vertically and horizontally to adapt to the dimensions of the user via a plurality of toothed elements. The configuration allows the combination with any existing continuous ventilation equipment.
