Abstract
Embodiments of a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (“CPR”) device are disclosed. A CPR device can include a compression mechanism configured to perform successive CPR compressions on a chest of a patient, the compression mechanism including a support portion configured to be placed underneath a patient, a piston, and a contact surface configured to make contact with the chest at a first orientation with respect to the support portion; and a controller communicatively coupled with the compression mechanism. The controller can be configured to receive at least one input and determine whether the first orientation of the contact surface should be adjusted based on the at least one input. The controller can further, responsive to a determination that the first orientation of the contact surface should be adjusted, cause the contact surface to move so that the contact surface makes contact with the chest at a second orientation with respect to the support portion.
