Claim:
1. An automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation device comprising: a compression element located on a cross-bar for acting on a compression location on a chest of a patient, wherein the compression element is operable for being moved by an actuator, and an optical alignment aid located on the cross-bar configured and arranged for projecting, at least temporarily, a light pattern on the patient, characterized in that the optical alignment aid is separate from the compression element and the actuator, wherein the optical alignment aid further comprises at least two light sources, wherein at least one light source of the at least two light sources is located on a first end of the cross-bar and a second light source of the at least two light sources is located on a second opposite end of the cross-bar, such that the compression element is located between the first and second light sources, the optical alignment aid further being configured and arranged to produce light emissions from the at least two light sources for projecting the light pattern that comprise (i) a user-viewable conjointly formed light pattern projected onto the patient in response to an initial pivoting placement of the compression element, actuator and optical alignment aid with respect to the patient, and (ii) separate user-viewable light patterns projected onto the patient in response to a final pivoting position and operation placement of the compression element, actuator and optical alignment aid with respect to the patient.
