Techniques and devices for extending a piston and/or compression unit, for example connected to a medical device such as a mechanical CPR device, to accommodate different sized patients, are described herein. In some cases, a piston of a mechanical CPR device may include an inner piston at least partially slidable into an external piston sleeve. In one aspect, some aspects, the piston includes sleeves which can move relative to each other to extend the piston. In additional aspects, the compression mechanism may also extend downward toward the patient. In all aspects, the change in length of the piston may be detected and used to modify movement of the piston, for example to more safely perform mechanical CPR.

Formulations of human amniotic fluid and methods of use thereof for treatment of lung disorders, and/or injuries have been developed. The formulations are suitable for topical delivery to the lung for treatment of lung disorders including chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD), asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis, interstitial lung disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin emphysema, as well as for treatment of acute lung injuries. Methods including administering specifically formulated, diluted sterile de-cellularized human amniotic fluids topically to the lungs, preferably as aerosol droplets, are described. In particular, the methods involving administration of the amniotic fluid formulation in the form of aerosol droplets with size between about 1.5 μm to about 5 μm, preferably from about 2.5 μm to about 3.5 μm, inclusive, using apparatus such as high-efficiency vibrating mesh nebulizers, are described. Formulations described can treat, or prevent one or more symptoms of a chronic lung disorder.

Devices, systems, and methods for High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation therapy can include a therapy garment including a covering garment for dressing on a patient's torso, the covering garment including a bladder pocket defined between inward and outward layers, and a fluid bladder arranged within the bladder pocket. The fluid bladder can define a pressurizable chamber adapted to receive pressurized fluid to provide force of high frequency pressure oscillation to a patient's chest wall. The pressurizable chamber can be formed to define an outer profile shaped to correspond closely with the patient's rib cage profile to reduce transfer of force of high frequency chest oscillation to the patient's torso outside of the patient's rib cage profile.

An automatic massage portable massage table, and belongs to the technical field of massage apparatuses. The automatic massage portable massage table includes a rigid planner surface, a cushioned pad, an upholstery cover, table legs, long leg supports, short leg supports, a cable system, a headrest cradle, a headrest cushion, and a plurality of airbags. According to the automatic massage portable massage table of the present disclosure, a user can command a circuit board to supply power to an air pump and a plurality of air valves through buttons of a controller. After being powered on, the air pump supplies air to the air valves. Meanwhile, the circuit board controls, according to a pre-stored program, the air valves to achieve air supply and air release, thus controlling the airbags to be inflated and deflated.

A portable cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) system includes a first module hub housing, an inflation actuated soft gripper configured to receive an inflation gas, and in response, to change form to a deployed grip state that accommodates and grips a human torso. Features of the portable CPR system include modularity for in-the-field reconfigurability, in which a second module hub housing attaches to the first module hub housing, carrying a CPR pressure applicator configured to receive an actuator power and a CPR control signal causing, concurrent with the deployed grip state, cyclic extension and retraction of the CPR pressure applicator along an axis aligned with a sternum of the human torso.

A CPR chest compression system includes a retention structure that retains the body of a patient, and a motor and a compressor that can perform CPR compressions to the chest of the patient. The motor is powered by a battery that is located on the retention structure but away from the motor, and is electrically connected to the motor via one or more wires. Accordingly the weight and volume of the battery can be located away from a top portion of the retention structure. This renders the CPR system is less heavy at the top, and therefore less likely to tilt and start compressing the chest at a different point. Moreover, this permits X-Rays of a larger footprint to go through the CPR system and reach the patient, in embodiments where the components are transparent to X-Rays.

A portable automated life-saving system, comprising one or more sensors utilized for collecting data related to a patient's current medical condition and to transmit the collected data to a main computer; a main computer adapted with suitable hardware and software to process data, received from the one or more sensors, with respect to predefined medical conditions and corresponding life-saving treatment protocols, thereby to determine an initial life-saving treatment protocol to be delivered to the patient, and accordingly to operate a main controller configured to activates corresponding life-saving devices; a main controller adapted to be operated by the main computer, for controllably activating fastening means, and for controllably activating one or more life-saving devices for delivering life-saving treatment to the patient; two or more fastening means, controllably activated by the main controller for obtaining a firm attachment of the automated life-saving system to a patient; one or more life-saving devices controllably activated by the main controller for delivering life-saving treatment to the patient; one or more batteries. The portable automated life-saving system continuously monitors the evolving medical condition of a patient, and correspondingly adapts the given treatment, namely, the operation of the one or more life-saving devices.

A medicine application device with ultrasonic massage enabling concentrated supply of medicine, including a medicine concentrated supply device, at least one ultrasonic massage mechanism, a medicine supply pipe and power cables. The ultrasonic massage mechanism has a shell, a base panel having massage projections, and an electrical ultrasonic vibration element; the medicine concentrated supply device has a housing, a control panel, a circuit board, and a medicine supply device. The medicine application device provides high frequency ultrasonic massage and applies medicinal therapy to patients.

A method for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes supplying an inflation gas at an operative pressure to an inflation actuated soft gripper device to change form from an undeployed state to a deployed grip state that accommodates and grips a human torso. The inflation actuated soft gripper device includes a first inflatable gripper arm having a first distal end and a second inflatable gripper arm having a second distal end. The first distal end and the second distal end approach one another from the undeployed state to the deployed grip state. The first and second distal ends are spaced apart from one another further in the undeployed state than in the deployed grip state. An actuator power and a CPR control signal are delivered to a CPR pressure application device to cyclically extend and retract a pressure applicator along an axis in alignment with a sternum of the human torso.

An improvement to portable cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), includes a first module hub housing, an inflation actuated soft gripper configured to receive an inflation gas in response, to change form to a deployed grip state that accommodates and grips a human torso. Improvements include the inflatable gripper not requiring lifting the patient. Improvements also include modularity for in-the-field reconfigurability, in which a second module hub housing attaches to the first module hub housing, carrying a CPR pressure applicator configured to receive an actuator power and control signal causing, concurrent with the deployed grip state, cyclic extension and retraction of a pressure applicator along an axis aligned with a sternum of the human torso.
