Abstract
A compact, portable, computer controlled device which provides timing and sequence guidance for helping the CPR rescuer remember what actions are required, and when the associated tasks need to be performed. The rescuer can select the correct logic for infant, child, or adult and can indicate whether the rescue is being performed by one or two people. Audible buzzers, synthetic voices, and indicator lamps guide the rescuer in the performance of CPR. In addition, the device to provides variable pacing rates for when a pulse is present and only artificial ventilation is required. It is a device that works equally as well in the training environment as well as in support of CPR during an actual emergency.
