Abstract

A CPR chest compression machine includes a retention structure configured to retain a patient's body, and a compression mechanism configured to perform automatically CPR compressions to the patient's chest. The CPR machine also includes a camera coupled to the retention structure or to the compression mechanism. The camera has a field of view that spans at least a certain portion of the patient's body, and is configured to acquire an image of what is spanned by its field of view. The image may be stored in a memory, displayed, transmitted, analyzed to diagnose the patient, detect shifting of the patient within the CPR machine, etc.
