Abstract

A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (“CPR”) device that includes a chest compression mechanism, a support structure, and a plurality of inflatable support pads. The chest compression mechanism is configured to deliver CPR chest compressions to a patient. The support structure includes a base member configured to be placed underneath a patient, and a leg configured to support the chest compression mechanism at a distance from the base member. The plurality of inflatable support pads are configured to provide lateral support to a patient's chest during use of the CPR device. Each support pad within the plurality of support pads includes a holder configured to retain and at least partially surround the adjacent support pad.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (“CPR”) device, comprising:
a chest compression mechanism configured to deliver CPR chest compressions to a patient;
a support structure comprising:
a base member configured to be placed underneath the patient, and
a leg configured to support the chest compression mechanism at a distance from the base member; and

a plurality of support pads configured to provide lateral support to the patient's chest during use of the CPR device, each support pad within the plurality of support pads being coupled to an adjacent support pad of the plurality of support pads, each support pad within the plurality of support pads comprising a holder configured to retain and substantially surround the adjacent support pad of the plurality of support pads.

2. The CPR device of claim 1 , further comprising a support pad affixed to the support structure.

3. The CPR device of claim 1 , further comprising a support pad removably attached to the support structure.

4. The CPR device of claim 1 , further comprising a support pad configured to at least partially surround a portion of the support structure.

5. The CPR device of claim 1 , in which the plurality of support pads comprises a plurality of inflatable support pads.

6. The CPR device of claim 1 , in which the plurality of support pads comprises a plurality of foam support pads.

7. The CPR device of claim 1 , in which the plurality of support pads comprises a plurality of inflatable support pads containing a foam support pad.

8. The CPR device of claim 1 , in which the plurality of support pads is disposed at a junction between the leg and the base member.

9. A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (“CPR”) device, comprising:
a chest compression mechanism configured to deliver CPR chest compressions to a patient;
a support structure comprising:
a base member configured to be placed underneath the patient, and
a leg configured to support the chest compression mechanism at a distance from the base member; and

a plurality of support pads configured to provide lateral support to the patient's chest during use of the CPR device, each support pad within the plurality of support pads being coupled to an adjacent support pad of the plurality of support pads, each support pad within the plurality of support pads comprising a clip portion affixed to a pad portion, the clip portion configured to retain and substantially surround the adjacent support pad of the plurality of support pads.

10. The CPR device of claim 9 , further comprising a support pad affixed to the support structure.

11. The CPR device of claim 9 , further comprising a support pad removably attached to the support structure.

12. The CPR device of claim 9 , further comprising a support pad configured to at least partially surround a portion of the support structure.

13. The CPR device of claim 9 , in which the plurality of support pads comprises a plurality of inflatable support pads.

14. The CPR device of claim 9 , in which the plurality of support pads comprises a plurality of foam support pads.

15. The CPR device of claim 9 , in which the plurality of support pads comprises a plurality of inflatable support pads containing a foam support pad.

16. The CPR device of claim 9 , in which the plurality of support pads is disposed at a junction between the leg and the base member.
