The housing encloses the air pump and air valve device(s) during operation such that noise generated from or made by the air pump and air valve device(s) during operation is reduced, contained or eliminated. The present invention may include additional features: armrest sliding, shoulder airbag sliding, media player holder, virtual reality player, wireless charger, hammering devices, heating acupuncture devices, and oxygen generator.

A system for assisting cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment of a patient includes a defibrillator system including a defibrillator communicatively coupled to a local computing device and configured to receive signals from treatment sensors, a patient support section, and a tilt adjuster coupled to the patient support section. The tilt adjuster is configured to communicatively couple with the defibrillator system, receive a control signal indicative of a target tilt angle from the local computing device, and automatically tilt the patient support section, around a transverse axis, to the target tilt angle in response to the control signal from the local computing device. The system also includes a chest compression device mount disposed on the patient support section and configured to adjustably secure a chest compression device to the patient support section.

Methods and apparatus for automated detection of an airway device coupled to an automatic rescue breathing unit (ARBU) are disclosed. The automatic detection apparatus includes a keying system that utilizes color adapters coupled to specific airway devices to indicate to a controller that the airway device is a particular size and has a particular airway protection classification (e.g., protected or unprotected). The controller may then determine the proper rescue breath rate and volume (e.g., tidal volume) based on knowing the size and classification of the airway device. In some instances, the controller may also receive information on chest compressions applied to the patient. Automatic detection of the size and classification of the airway device, along with chest compressions, may improve the process of providing automated rescue breaths to a patient.

A time saving sit on cardio pulmonary resuscitation device and method wherein the said device for providing cpr is adopted with an arrangement to seat a person and enable the start of cpr within five minutes of a heart attack affecting a patient, comprising of a reciprocating resuscitation force applicator where a counter force to the reactive force arising on applying compression force for resuscitation, said counter force being provided by the weight of a person sitting on the seating means and a belt based drive conveyance means forming a loop from top of a enclosure box allowing cpr without latching. A very clearly understandable, unambiguous, two step method of sitting on the device placed around the patient body, no confusion, no decision steps, no mental thinking on what to do. The device takes care of most decisions automatically.

A device is provided for controlling the nitric oxide levels within the lungs of a subject. The device comprises a detector for detecting the respiration cycle of the subject and a stimulator for applying an acoustic or vibratory stimulus to the subject. The stimulator is controlled in dependence on the detected respiration cycle. In particular, acoustic stimulation may be provided at the onset of inspiration. In this way, the nitric oxide flow can be controlled in a way to ensure that the paranasal nitric oxide is nearly fully inspired. This provides a higher nitric oxide concentration in the lung/alveoli.

A patient support system with chest compression system and harness assembly with sensor system. The harness assembly secures shoulders and hips of the patient on a patient support surface during transport. A chest compression system is integrated into the harness assembly in a manner that provides chest compressions to the patient while the patient is secured on the patient support surface. The tension of the harness assembly is selectively adjusted and/or a fluid bladder may be selectively expanded. A controller is in communication with the chest compression system and controls operation of the chest compression system. The sensor system is integrated into the harness assembly and in communication with the controller. The chest compression system may be removable from the harness assembly via an adapter. The chest compression system may be integrated into the patient support apparatus to secure the patient to the patient support surface while providing chest compressions.

A steam therapy assembly includes a housing that has an intake and an exhaust to pass air through the intake and the exhaust. A water tank is removably attachable to the housing and the water tank has a fluid port to pass water therethrough for filling the water tank with water. An oil cartridge contains oil and the oil cartridge is removably insertable into the housing. A vaporizing unit is integrated into the housing and the vaporizing unit is in fluid communication between the intake and the exhaust to urge air into the intake and outwardly through the exhaust when the vaporizing unit is turned on. The vaporizing unit vaporizes the water in the water tank into a steam. Additionally, the vaporizing unit vaporizes the oil in the oil cartridge thereby mixing the vaporized oil with the vaporized water.

A system includes a guidance device that provides feedback to a user to compress a patient's chest at a rate of between about 90 and 110 compressions per minute and at a depth of between about 4.5 centimeters to about 6 centimeters. The system includes a pressure regulation system having a pressure-responsive valve that is configured to be coupled to a patient's airway. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed during successive chest compressions in order to permit removal at least about 200 ml from the lungs in order to lower intracranial pressure to improve survival with favorable neurological function. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed until the negative pressure within the patient's airway reaches about −7 cm H.sub.2O, at which time the pressure-responsive valve is configured to open to provide respiratory gases to flow to the lungs through the pressure-responsive valve.
