Design and application of the machine for cardiopulmonary resuscitation based on scissor lift principle without back plate

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines emphasize that external chest compression should be started as early as possible during CPR. In addition to manual hand compressions, the machine for CPR can be used instead. However traditional machines for CPR take a lot of time toinstall, and is not conducive to the early initiation of chest compressions. So the medical staff of the emergency department of Mindong Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University designed a new type of machine for CPR based on scissor lift principle without back plate. The design has obtained the national utility model patent. This patented product with flexible lifting and accurate placement is easy to install and fix, and can overcome the drawbacks of conventional machines that are uneasy to install, thus ensuring the implementation of high quality CPR.
