Abstract
A back plate for use with a CPR compression device can include first and second static attachment elements configured on first and second sides, respectively, to releasably connect to first and second legs, respectively. In addition, a bottom surface of the back plate can include a plurality of ribs that run from the first side to the second side in parallel to the third and fourth sides. The back plate also includes a hollow portion between the upper and bottom surfaces and the first, second, third, and fourth sides, and the ribs and third and fourth sides provide structural rigidity to the back plate. A plurality of openings along the third and fourth sides may be configured for strapping the back plate to a patient. Grooves may be configured on the top surface to hide sink marks on the top surface caused by the ribs on the bottom surface.
