Abstract
According to an aspect, there is provided a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device (1) for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient. The device (1) comprises: a patient side (3) for engagement with the chest of the patient; and a user side (2) for engagement with the hands of a user delivering CPR to the patient. One or more of the surface of the patient side (3) and the surface of the user side (2) is at least partially formed of a material with variable contact characteristics configured to be controlled so as to regulate the lateral force distribution profile at the one or more of the surface of the patient side (3) and the surface of the user side (2) from a force applied to the device (1) by the user and transferred through the device (1) to the patient. According to other aspects, there is provided a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device and a computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device.
