Abstract

An automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device includes a movable chest compressor for repeatedly pressing a patient's chest at a preset depth and cycle, a cardiac output measurement unit for measuring a cardiac output of the patient in accordance with the pressurization of the chest compressor and a processor for changing pressing locations by performing control such that the chest compressor moves according to a preset method.

Claims (15)

1. An automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device, comprising:

a chest compressor which is movable, and is configured to repeatedly compress a victim's chest to a predetermined depth and in a predetermined cycle;

a cardiac output measurement unit configured to measure a cardiac output of the victim caused by compression of the chest compressor; and

a processor configured to control the chest compressor to move according to a predetermined method, and to change a compression site,

wherein the processor is configured to control the cardiac output measurement unit to measure the cardiac output of the victim at each of the changed compression site, to select a compression site at which the cardiac output of the victim becomes the maximum among the measured cardiac output, and to control the chest compressor to move to the compression site at which the cardiac output of the victim becomes the maximum.

2. The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined method is a method which measures the cardiac output of the victim while moving the chest compressor in one direction of a horizontal direction or a vertical direction, selects a first compression site at which the cardiac output of the victim becomes the maximum, based on the measured cardiac output, and to move the chest compressor to a second compression site and a third compression site which are on both sides of the first compression site in a direction perpendicular to the one direction of the chest compressor.

3. The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to select a compression site at which the cardiac output of the victim becomes the maximum as a final compression site, based on cardiac outputs measured at the first to third compression sites.

4. The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device of 1 , wherein the processor is configured to control at least one of a compression site, a compression depth, or a compression cycle of the chest compressor to make the cardiac output of the victim become the maximum.

5. The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device of 1 , wherein the cardiac output measurement unit is configured to measure the cardiac output of the victim, by using at least one of an ultrasound measurement method, an electrical bioimpedance cardiogram analysis method, capnography, a blood pressure waveform analysis method, or an intracardiac catheter method.

6. The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device of 1 , further comprising a camera configured to photograph a chest of the victim,

wherein the processor is configured to determine a compression site of the chest compressor based on an image photographed by the camera.

7. The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device of 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to measure a pressure of the chest compressor compressing the victim.

8. The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device of 1 , further comprising a bio signal measurement unit configured to measure a bio signal of the victim,

wherein the processor is configured to determine whether a current compression site compressed by the chest compressor is an optimal compression site, based on the bio signal measured by the bio signal measurement unit.

9. The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device of 8 , wherein the bio signal comprises at least one of a blood pressure, an electrocardiogram, end-tidal CO2, or blood oxygen saturation.
