DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING STERNAL COMPRESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18290490 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING STERNAL COMPRESSION
The evaluation apparatus described in the patent application is designed to assess chest compression during CPR. It includes a measuring unit, a compression position evaluation unit, and an instruction unit.
- The measuring unit collects data on changes in total hemoglobin concentration, oxygenated hemoglobin concentration, and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration in the head.
- The compression position evaluation unit analyzes indicators related to the temporal changes in hemoglobin concentrations to determine if the compression position on the sternum is correct.
- The instruction unit provides guidance to adjust the compression position if it is deemed inappropriate.
Potential Applications: - Medical training simulations for CPR techniques - Monitoring and improving the quality of chest compressions during emergency medical procedures
Problems Solved: - Ensuring proper chest compression technique during CPR - Providing real-time feedback to improve the effectiveness of CPR
Benefits: - Increased chances of successful resuscitation during emergencies - Enhanced training for medical professionals in performing CPR accurately
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced CPR Evaluation Technology for Medical Training and Emergency Response" This technology can be utilized in medical training facilities, emergency response units, and hospitals to enhance CPR performance and outcomes.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this evaluation apparatus improve the accuracy of chest compressions during CPR? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in emergency medical settings?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in CPR evaluation technology and its impact on emergency medical care.
Original Abstract Submitted
The evaluation apparatus is an apparatus for evaluating chest compression, and includes a measuring unit, a compression position evaluation unit, and an instruction unit. The measuring unit obtains numerical values relating to temporal changes in a total hemoglobin concentration, an oxygenated hemoglobin concentration, and a deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration of the head. The compression position evaluation unit determines whether compression position on a sternum is appropriate based on a first indicator and a second indicator, the first indicator relating to a temporal change ratio of the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration with respect to the temporal change in the total hemoglobin concentration, and the second indicator relating to a correlation between the temporal change in the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration and the temporal change in the deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration. When the compression position on the sternum is inappropriate, the instruction unit instructs to change the compression position.
