Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An automated chest compression device has a housing for supporting a patient and a motor within the housing. A conical drive spool is operatively connected to the motor and a cable, is operatively connected to the conical drive spool. The cable is adapted to extend at least partially around the chest of the patient. A controller is operable to control the motor to compress the chest to variable thresholds.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . An electro-mechanical chest compression device comprising: a housing adapted to support a patient; a motor disposed in the housing; a drive spool operably attached to the motor, wherein the motor is capable of rotating the drive spool; a belt attached to the drive spool, said belt capable of extending at least partially around the chest of a patient, wherein rotation of the drive spool tightens the belt to compress the chest of the patient; a spline attached to the belt; and a slot disposed in the drive spool, said slot sized and dimensioned to engage the spline when the belt is attached to the drive spool.
