Abstract
A resuscitation device for automatic compression of victim's chest using a compression belt which exerts force evenly over the entire thoracic cavity. The belt is constricted and relaxed through a motorized spool assembly which repeatedly tightens the belt and relaxes the belt to provide repeated and rapid chest compression. An assembly includes various resuscitation devices including chest compression devices, defibrillation devices, and airway management devices, along with communications devices and senses with initiate communications with emergency medical personnel automatically upon use of the device.
Claims3
A resuscitation and alert system comprising:
- a resuscitation device comprising a chest compression device, the chest compression device having a compression belt and a buckle for securing the compression belt around the chest of a victim;
- a sensor, attached to the buckle, for determining when the buckle has been latched thereby indicating that the resuscitation device is in use, the sensor having an output;
- a computer storage device for storing information corresponding to the location of the resuscitation device;
- a communication device for communicating with an emergency medical system;
- and
- a computer controller, responsive to the output of the sensor, for initiating the communication device and for relaying the information stored on the computer storage device through the communication device to the emergency medical system.
