CONFIGURABLE ELECTRODES AND SENSORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050734 titled 'CONFIGURABLE ELECTRODES AND SENSORS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes the invention of defibrillator electrode assemblies and compression assemblies that can be used on a patient despite physical constraints that limit the area or locations where the electrode assembly can be placed. It also describes a cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) assembly that protects a patient with a transthoracic incision from further injury during the application of CPR compressions near the incision.

  • The invention is a set of defibrillator electrode assemblies and compression assemblies.
  • These assemblies are designed to be used on patients with physical constraints that limit the area or locations where the electrode assembly can be placed.
  • The invention also includes a CPR assembly that protects patients with a transthoracic incision from further injury during CPR compressions near the incision.

Potential Applications:

  • Medical facilities and emergency responders can use these electrode assemblies and compression assemblies to provide defibrillation and CPR to patients with physical constraints or transthoracic incisions.
  • The technology can be used in hospitals, ambulances, and other medical settings where defibrillation and CPR are performed.

Problems Solved:

  • The invention addresses the problem of limited areas or locations on a patient where an electrode assembly can be placed due to physical constraints.
  • It also solves the problem of protecting patients with transthoracic incisions from further injury during CPR compressions near the incision.

Benefits:

  • The electrode assemblies and compression assemblies allow medical professionals to provide defibrillation and CPR to patients with physical constraints or transthoracic incisions, expanding the range of patients who can receive these life-saving treatments.
  • The CPR assembly provides added protection to patients with transthoracic incisions, reducing the risk of further injury during CPR compressions.


Original Abstract Submitted

example defibrillator electrode assemblies compression assemblies are described that may be dimensioned and configured for use on a patient despite physical constraints that limit the area or locations on a patient onto which an electrode assembly may be placed. a cardio pulmonary resuscitation (cpr) assembly is also described that protects a patient with a transthoracic incision from further injury during application of cpr compressions proximate to the incision.
