Принадлежит: Physio Control Inc

Time after time studies find that often, even when administered by trained professionals, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compression rates and depth are inadequate. Too week, shallow or too forceful compressions may contribute to suboptimal patient outcome. Several parameters are crucial for optimal and properly-administered CPR. Crucial parameters include proper hand positioning on the patient's chest, depth of compression of 4-5 cm, and compression rate of 100 compressions per minute. The crucial parameters are often affected by patient parameters, and relative to the patient, rescuer parameters, such as patient thoracic volume; weight; age; gender; and rescuer's, relative to the patient's, parameters, such as weight, height; physical form, etc. Proposed is an automated CPR feedback device with user programmable settings for assisting with real-time feedback and subsequently correcting rescuers patient customized CPR technique.

Принадлежит: Individual

A knee roller that is easy to use and provides improved maneuverability is disclosed. The knee roller may include a support frame for supporting a handlebar assembly, a knee support and a pair of coaxial wheels. The pair of coaxial wheels may be positioned substantially underneath the knee support, where the pair of coaxial wheels rotates about a common rotation axis, and a vertical plane defined by the rotation axis intersects the knee support. The position of the pair of coaxial wheels with respect to the knee support substantially distributes a weight received at the knee support over the pair of coaxial wheels and allows the knee roller to turn about a vertical axis perpendicular to and intersects with the rotation axis.
