Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an apparatus of cardiopulmonary resuscitator that is operated through a driving mechanism controlled and driven by air power. The driving mechanism functions to actuate a belt adapted to extend around a chest of a patient to generate reciprocating movement of pressing and releasing so as to achieve a purpose of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for recovering heartbeat and breathing of the patent.

Claims

1. A cardiopulmonary resuscitator, comprising:

a panel for supporting a patient;

a first belt, disposed at a side of the panel, for wrapping around a chest of the patient;

a flexible body, disposed on one side of the panel opposite to the side for supporting the patient, functioning to tighten and loosen the first belt for compressing and releasing the chest of the patient through a inflating and deflating motion generated by a pneumatic power; and

a controlling module, connected to a pneumatic source, being capable of adjusting the airflow provided from the pneumatic source to pass in and out the flexible body.

2. The cardiopulmonary resuscitator according to claim 1, wherein the flexible body is a bladder.

3. The cardiopulmonary resuscitator according to claim 1, further comprises a second belt with two ends connecting to two ends of the first belt respectively and contacting with the flexible body.

4. The cardiopulmonary resuscitator according to claim 3, wherein there is a buckle disposed between the first belt and the second belt.

5. The cardiopulmonary resuscitator according to claim 3, further comprises a hook-and-loop fastener disposed between the second belt and the flexible body for attaching the flexible body to the second belt.

6. The cardiopulmonary resuscitator according to claim 1, wherein the pneumatic source is selected from a group consisting a high pressure bottle and a inflator, which generates air through a compression and inflation movement operated by a action force.

7. The cardiopulmonary resuscitator according to claim 1, further comprising a massage pad, made of a rubber material and disposed on side of the first belt toward the chest of the patient.

8. The cardiopulmonary resuscitator according to claim 1, wherein the panel further comprises a handle for carrying.

9. The cardiopulmonary resuscitator according to claim 1, wherein the first belt further comprises a fastener for adjusting the first belt according to size of the chest of the patient.
