Chest compression machine systems and methods
Chest compression machine systems and methods adjust the administration of patient treatment based on received physiological parameter measurements, such as a CO 2 measurement. Adjustment of the administered chest compressions can include adjusting one or more chest compression parameters, such as the depth of the administered compressions, the administration of active decompressions, adjusting the height of active decompression, adjusting the rate of compressions and/or active decompressions and/or other changes to one or more properties, or characteristics, of the administered chest compressions and/or active decompressions.
