Design of auto adjustable CPR assistive device for non-expertise usability scenarios

Abstract

The proposal introduces a frugal device designed to optimize cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedures, offering a promising solution to enhance emergency medical care. In CPR, maintaining adequate chest compressions is crucial for sustaining blood circulation and oxygen supply to vital organs until professional medical help arrives. The proposed device addresses this challenge by continuously monitoring the pressure of chest compressions. When the pressure exceeds a preset threshold, the device automatically triggers the deflation of an airbag, thereby damping excess pressure and ensuring compression levels remain within the optimal range. This innovative approach not only improves the effectiveness of CPR delivery but also mitigates the risk of injury to the patient, as excessive compression force can cause rib fractures or other complications. By providing real-time feedback and assistance during CPR, the device has the potential to enhance the quality of care delivered by both trained professionals and lay rescuers, ultimately improving patient outcomes in emergency situations. Overall, the development of this frugal device represents a significant advancement in emergency medical technology,offering a cost- effective and accessible solution to optimize CPR procedures and save lives.
