Abstract

An embodiment of the support structure includes a back plate, a central part adapted to recite an automatic compression/decompression unit, and a front part. The front part includes two legs coupled between the central part and the back plate. The support structure is arranged to automatically compress or decompress a patient'"'"'s chest when the front part is attached to the back plate and when the compression/decompression unit is received in the central part.

Claims

1. A front part for use in a support structure that is capable of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient having a cardiac arrest, the support structure including a back plate, the front part comprising:

a central part adapted to receive an automatic compression/decompression unit;

a first leg having a first end that is rotatably coupled to the central part, and a second end that can be coupled to the back plate; and

a second leg having a first end that is coupled to the central part, and a second end that can be coupled to the back plate, and

in which when the second ends are coupled to the back plate, and the compression/decompression unit is received in the central part, the compression/decompression unit is arranged to automatically compress a chest of the patient.

2. A front part for use in a support structure that is capable of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient having a cardiac arrest, the support structure including a back plate, the front part comprising:

a central part;

an automatic compression/decompression unit coupled with the central part;

a first leg having a first end that is rotatably coupled to the central part, and a second end that can be coupled to the back plate; and

a second leg having a first end that is coupled to the central part, and a second end that can be coupled to the back plate, and

in which when the second ends are coupled to the back plate, the compression/decompression unit is arranged to automatically compress a chest of the patient.

3. A front part for use in a support structure that is capable of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient having a cardiac arrest, the support structure including a back plate, the front part comprising:

a central part adapted to receive an automatic treatment unit;

a first leg having a first end that is rotatably coupled to the central part, and a second end that can be coupled to the back plate; and

a second leg having a first end that is coupled to the central part, and a second end that can be coupled to the back plate, and

in which when the second ends are coupled to the back plate, and the treatment unit is received in the central part, the treatment unit is arranged to automatically compress a chest of the patient.

4. A front part for use in a support structure that is capable of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient having a cardiac arrest, the support structure including a back plate, the front part comprising:

a central part;

an automatic treatment unit coupled with the central part;

a first leg having a first end that is rotatably coupled to the central part, and a second end that can be coupled to the back plate; and

a second leg having a first end that is coupled to the central part, and a second end that can be coupled to the back plate, and

in which when the second ends are coupled to the back plate, the treatment unit is arranged to automatically compress a chest of the patient.
