Abstract:
1. A device for performing mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient comprising: a backboard; a motor and a drive spool housed within the backboard, wherein the motor is operably secured to the drive spool; a piston support frame having two legs and a piston actuator housing, the piston support frame secured to the backboard forming a channel between the two legs, the backboard and the piston actuator housing; a piston operably housed within the piston actuator housing; a belt enclosed within the backboard and the piston support frame, the belt is operably secured to the drive spool; wherein actuation of the motor results in cyclic rotation and counter-rotation of the motor and corresponding winding and unwinding of the belt on the drive spool to effectuate cyclic extension and retraction of the piston against the patient's chest to perform mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
