Abstract
Chest compression machine systems and methods adjust the administration of patient treatment based on received physiological parameter measurements, such as a CO2 measurement. Adjustment of the administered chest compressions can include adjusting one or more chest compression parameters, such as the depth of the administered compressions, the administration of active decompressions, adjusting the height of active decompression, adjusting the rate of compressions and/or active decompressions and/or other changes to one or more properties, or characteristics, of the administered chest compressions and/or active decompressions.
Claims14
A mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (“CPR”) device, comprising:
- a compression mechanism configured to automatically perform one or both of CPR compressions and active decompressions on a chest of the patient;
- a sensor configured to measure a physiological parameter of the patient while one or both of CPR compressions and active decompressions are performed on the chest of the patient;
- a user interface electrically coupled to the mechanical CPR device and configured to receive user input;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- generate an initial representation of a measured physiological parameter received from the sensor,
- receive the user input, the user input based at least in part on the initial representation of the measured physiological parameter,
- alter a parameter of one or both of CPR compressions and active decompressions in response to the received user input, and
- generate an updated representation of the measured physiological parameter.
A method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (“CPR”) device to perform one or both of CPR compressions and active decompressions on a chest of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:
- driving a compression mechanism to perform one or both of CPR compressions and active decompressions;
- measuring, with a sensor, a physiological parameter of the patient while one or both of CPR compressions and active decompressions are performed on the chest of the patient;
- generating, on a user interface, an initial representation of a measured physiological parameter received from the sensor;
- receiving, on the user interface, user input based at least in part on the initial representation of the measured physiological parameter;
- alter a parameter of one or both of CPR compressions and active decompressions in response to the received user input;
- and
- generating, on the user interface, an updated representation of the measured physiological parameter.
