Abstract
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.
Claims11
1- An automated heart-abdomen external masseur package comprising:
- a plate placed under a patient's back, wherein two arms (first and second arms) extend from each side of said plate around chest and abdomen of said patient, wherein said first and second arms connect on top of said patient's chest and abdomen area housing:
- a chest masseur, a display touch-screen monitor, an abdomen masseur package having an abdomen massage pad, a central control unit comprising an on/off switch, batteries, an external power inlet, first and second ultrasonic sensors, a sphygmomanometer cuff, a defibrillator, multiple ECG lids, body temperature sensors, pulse oximetry;
- wherein data received when said external masseur is turned on is transferred to said central processing unit and a processor therefore further work of chest and abdomen motors is adjusted and controlled as needed.
2- The external masseur package of claim 1, wherein said plate and said first and second arms are made of non-flexible carbon fiber material.
3- The external masseur package of claim 2, wherein vital symptoms are observed and displayed on said monitor.
4- The external masseur package of claim 3, wherein after cardiac arrest said plate is placed under said patient's back and shoulders, while said first and second arms are wrapped around said patient's body covering said chest and abdomen;
- wherein said chest masseur is placed on a middle section of said chest;
- wherein said plate comprises an adjustable width accommodating different patient size.
5- The external masseur package of claim 4, wherein said plate comprises sliding joints one and two, creating said adjustable width.
6- The external masseur package of claim 5, wherein said chest masseur comprises a frame, said chest motor, a chest driver gear, a motor shaft and massage shaft having teeth or indentations;
- wherein a combination of said chest driver gear and said teeth form a set of rack and pinion mechanism, therefore rotational movement of said chest driver gear causes said massage shaft to vertically move up and down simulating CPR movement, therefore vertically moving said chest masseur up and down;
- wherein said first and second ultrasonic sensors measure a distance between said patient's chest and said chest masseur, therefore adjusting said vertical movement of said chest masseur, and wherein said chest masseur moves down only equal to said distance.
7- The external masseur package of claim 6, wherein continuous movement of said chest masseur compresses and decompresses said patient's chest at least 100 times per minute, with a minimum 2 inch replacement.
8- The external masseur package of claim 7, wherein said abdomen masseur is placed on said patient's chest and stomach on inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta.
9- The external masseur package of claim 8, wherein said central control unit compares on-location and continuous cardiogram of said patient with pre-defined/pre-recorded, normal and healthy cardiogram stored in a memory of said external masseur package, therefore calculating a correct amount of electrical shock needed for said defibrillator;
- wherein said correct amount is displayed on said display monitor;
- wherein continuous measurement of ECG waves and said cardiogram and data analysis will define further automatic chest and abdomen messaging via said chest and abdomen masseurs respectively.
10- The external masseur package of claim 9, wherein said abdomen masseur comprises two adjustable abdominal arms, adjusting a distance between said patient's chest and said abdomen, till said abdomen massage pad is placed below said patient's chest.
11- The external masseur package of claim 10, wherein said abdomen massage pad vertically moves up and down as the same rhythm as said chest masseur (same numbers, same depth and same speed), wherein a pressure will be applied on said inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta, compressing said patient's abdomen at least half an inch.
