Abstract
A floatable device having hollow tubular handles, a flat C.P.R. pad spaced laterally and medially of the handles to provide sufficient clearance between the hands of a user and a patient's body in contact with the pad during reciprocating movement of the device, separators on the handles to accommodate the fingers, laterally extending stops equidistant from the pad so that equal pressure may be applied by the user, stops contacting the patient's body to limit the depression of the pad into the victim's body, and a bulbous choke-relieving pressure pad generally opposite to the flat pad. The device may include an indicator to inform a user that a sufficient pressure is being applied by the C.P.R. pad against a patient's body.
Claims19
A resuscitative device comprising an elongated member having opposite end portions, each of said end portions constituting handles for grasping by the hands of a person, a pressure pad attached to said member generally medially between said opposite end portions, said pressure pad having a body engageable surface spaced laterally of said end portions to provide sufficient clearance between the hands of a person and a patient's body in contact with said pressure pad during reciprocating relative movement between said device and a patient's body, and laterally extending stops affixed to respective said end portions spaced outwardly from said pad for limiting the hand positioning with respect to said pad, said stops being equidistant from said pad so that equal pressure from the hands of a person may be applied.
A resuscitative device comprising a member having opposite end portions, each of said end portions constituting handles for grasping by the hands of a person, a pressure pad attached to said member generally medially between said opposite end portions, said pressure pad having a body engageable surface spaced laterally of said end portions to provide sufficient clearance between the hands of a person and a patient's body in contact with said pressure pad during reciprocating relative movement between said device and a patient's body, and another pressure pad attached to said member generally medially between said opposite end portions and located generally opposite to said pad.
A resuscitative device comprising a member having opposite end portions, each of said end portions constituting handles for grasping by the hands of a person, a pressure pad attached to said member generally medially between said opposite end portions, said pressure pad having a body engageable surface spaced laterally of said end portions to provide sufficient clearance between the hands of a person and a patient's body in contact with said pressure pad during reciprocating relative movement between said device and a patient's body, said member being hollow with air encased therein for increasing the buoyancy thereof.
A resuscitative device comprising a member having opposite end portions, each of said end portions constituting handles for grasping by the hands of a person, a pressure pad attached to said member generally medially between said opposite end portions, said pressure pad having a body engageable surface spaced laterally of said end portions to provide sufficient clearance between the hands of a person and a patient's body in contact with said pressure pad during reciprocating relative movement between said device and a patient's body, and indicating means operable upon sufficient movement of said pad against a patient's body for indicating an appropriate pressure being applied by said pad to a patient's body.
A resuscitative device comprising a member having opposite end portions, each of said end portions constituting handles for grasping by the hands of a person, a pressure pad attached to said member generally medially between said opposite end portions, said pressure pad having a body engageable surface spaced laterally of said end portions to provide sufficient clearance between the hands of a person and a patient's body in contact with said pressure pad during reciprocating relative movement between said device and a patient's body, and means indicative of the amount of pressure being applied by the person using the device through said pad against a patient's body.
