First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for applying guided active compression decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation to an individual by an operator, comprising:
- a compression element that is pressed and lifted by the operator;
a flexible surface element operably coupled with the compression element by a connection mechanism and configured to contact the individual'"'"'s chest, the flexible surface element removably attachable to a chest area of the individual, the flexible surface element configured to decouple from the compression element when a decompression force exceeds a predetermined limit;
an operator interface that provides guidance to the operator as to how to perform chest compressions;
a processor operably coupled with the operator interface; and
a memory that is configured to store instructions executable by the processor to;
provide a set of operator instructions to perform a first conditioning protocol for increasing circulation in the individual by compressing the chest in a repeated manner for a certain number of chest compressions, a second conditioning protocol for pausing or reducing circulation in the individual following the first conditioning protocol by stopping chest compressions for a certain time duration, and a third conditioning protocol for increasing circulation in the individual following the second protocol by again compressing the chest in a repeated manner for a certain number of chest compressions.
