1. Resuscitation device, in particular for resuscitation of a patient with cardiac arrest, which device comprises a frame provided with at least one plunger which, when acted upon by a force generating means will move a plunger pad to and from the chest of a patient, an underlying back support means on which the patient may rest, as well as fastening means to attach the frame to the support means so that the patient is positioned between same,characterized in that the fastening means comprises flexible but substantially non-stretchable straps (16,17) each coiled up on a spring biased rotatable reel (12,13) each of which may be locked in different angular positions, which straps (16,17) are ending in, or are connected to, respectively arranged armpit stays (6,7) each of which is provided with a protruding edge or has an adapted width relative to the other dimensions of the resuscitation device to ensure that the plunger pad (28) will be pressed against the correct place on the sternum, independent of the size of the patient, when the resuscitation device is strapped around the patient with the armpit stays arranged in his armpits.
