Technology Field

[0001] This invention relates to an automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation device. Background Technology

[0002] In Korea, it is reported that between 20,000 and 40,000 people die suddenly each year, but due to a lack of professional training and awareness regarding emergency first aid, the rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed at the scene is reported to be very low.

[0003] Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed on patients is carried out by paramedics inside an ambulance, but there are practical limitations to performing appropriate and effective CPR in the confined space of an ambulance moving at high speed during an emergency. Therefore, there was a need for the development of an automatic CPR device that can automatically perform CPR.

[0004] In this regard, prior art for automatically performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation includes the "automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device" (hereinafter referred to as prior art) of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2016-0080030.

[0005] However, existing automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACPR) devices, including these conventional technologies, had the following problems. Specifically, when performing CPR on a cardiac arrest patient, it is crucial to mount the device in the correct position and begin chest compressions quickly to increase the efficiency and survival rate of the procedure. However, with conventional ACPR devices, in order to accurately determine the compression position, the device had to be mounted on the chest, the compression plate lowered to check the point of direct contact with the chest, and then the device or the patient had to be moved to establish the correct position. Consequently, there was a problem in that time was required to determine the initial mounting position and begin chest compressions.

[0006] In addition, even if an indicator for showing the compression position is mounted on the compression plate of an automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device, a problem may arise where the wire connected to the indicator interferes with the reciprocating movement of the compression plate. The problem to be solved

[0007] The present invention aims to solve the problems of the aforementioned prior art by providing an automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device for automatically performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a person who requires such resuscitation.

[0008] However, the technical problems that the embodiments of the present invention aim to solve are not limited to those described above, and other technical problems may exist. means of solving the problem

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the chest compression member may include, but is not limited to: a vertical drive member that reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the chest to compress a specific point on the user's chest; a drive control member that controls the reciprocating motion of the vertical drive member; a drive support member that supports the vertical drive member, with both sides extending from the support member; and a position control member that adjusts the position of the vertical drive member.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the vertical driving unit may include a compression unit that contacts the specific point, a connecting unit that connects the compression unit and the driving control unit, and a pressure measuring unit that measures the pressure applied by the compression unit to the chest; but is not limited thereto.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pressure measured by the pressure measuring unit is transmitted to the first control unit to control the operation of the chest compression unit in real time, but is not limited thereto.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the position control unit may prevent the vertical drive unit from moving away from the specific point by more than a predetermined distance while the vertical drive unit is reciprocating, but is not limited thereto.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a chest compression part according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0024] Below, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement them.

[0025] However, the present invention may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, in order to clearly illustrate the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the description have been omitted, and similar parts throughout the specification have been given similar reference numerals.

[0026] Throughout this specification, when a part is described as being "connected" to another part, this includes not only cases where they are "directly connected," but also cases where they are "electrically connected" with other elements interposed between them.

[0027] Throughout the entire specification, when a component is described as being located "on," "on top," "on top," "under," "on bottom," or "on bottom" of another component, this includes not only cases where the component is in contact with the other component but also cases where another component exists between the two components.

[0028] Throughout this specification, when a part is described as "comprising" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0029] Hereinafter, an automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device according to one embodiment and example of the present invention will be described.

[0030] As a technical means for achieving the above-mentioned technical problem, the first aspect of the present invention relates to an automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100), comprising: a bottom plate portion (110) positioned on the back side of a patient; a chest compression portion (120) positioned on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion (110) to compress the chest of the patient; a support member (130) extending from both sides of the bottom plate portion (110) and supporting the chest compression portion (120); and a first control unit (140) generating a signal to control the compression of the chest performed by the chest compression portion (120); wherein the speed, pressure, and number of times the chest compression portion (120) compresses the chest of the patient are set based on the signal transmitted from the first control unit (140), and the bottom plate portion (110) includes a body temperature control unit that regulates the body temperature of the patient.

[0031] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed when blood circulation to the heart is interrupted or impaired, such as in cases of cardiac arrest, by continuously compressing the chest where the heart is located. However, the chest compression process during CPR requires a force sufficient to indent the chest by 4 to 5 cm, a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, and compression at a precise location (the center of the lower half of the breastbone). Consequently, when performed manually, there are limitations, such as the operator becoming exhausted, which can reduce the effectiveness of CPR, or the possibility of compressing areas other than the specified location. Additionally, there is a limitation in that it is difficult to maintain the correct posture while moving, such as in a vehicle.

[0033] The automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) according to the present invention is intended to overcome the limitations of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation described above. Since cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed automatically using a machine, problems such as fatigue or failure to maintain posture do not occur, and compression can be applied to the correct location with the correct force and speed by utilizing other tools.

[0034] The above automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) comprises: a base plate (110) positioned on the back side of the patient; a chest compression part (120) positioned on the upper surface of the base plate (110) to compress the patient's chest; a support (130) extending from both sides of the base plate (110) and supporting the chest compression part (120); and a first control part (140) that generates a signal to control chest compression performed by the chest compression part (120).

[0035] The above-mentioned floor plate (110) is positioned on the back side of the patient, and the patient is positioned on the floor plate (110). At this time, since the floor plate (110) includes a body temperature control unit, the patient's body temperature can be controlled.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the body temperature control unit may control the patient's body temperature to 30°C to 37°C, but is not limited thereto.

[0037] When a human's body temperature rises, overall energy requirements, such as oxygen consumption and nutrient consumption, increase; however, in the case of a cardiac arrest patient, oxygen supply is restricted. That is, if the body temperature of a cardiac arrest patient rises, oxygen requirements increase while oxygen supply is restricted, which increases the risk of brain damage and can place a burden on the heart. Accordingly, through the body temperature control unit, the patient's body temperature is controlled to 30°C to 37°C, preferably 33°C to 34°C, to minimize brain damage and the burden on the heart, and once heart activity is normalized by cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the temperature can be raised slowly (0.5°C per minute).

[0038] At this time, for efficient temperature control, the temperature control unit may additionally include a cooling device attached to or mounted on the patient's body.

[0039] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a chest compression part (120) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the chest compression member (120) may include, but is not limited to: a vertical drive member (121) that reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the chest to compress a specific point on the user's chest; a drive control member (122) that controls the reciprocating motion of the vertical drive member (121); a drive support member (123) that supports the vertical drive member (121) with both sides extending from the support member (130); and a position control member (124) that adjusts the position of the vertical drive member (121).

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the position control unit (124) can prevent the vertical drive unit (121) from moving more than a predetermined distance from the specific point while the vertical drive unit (121) is reciprocating, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] The above chest compression unit (120) performs cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient in an automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100). Specifically, the position of the vertical drive unit (121) can be controlled to compress a specific point on the chest through the position control unit (124), and then the reciprocating motion of the vertical drive unit (121) can be controlled through the drive control unit (122). At this time, the drive control unit (122) and the position control unit (124) can control the position and reciprocating motion of the vertical drive unit (121) in real time so that the vertical drive unit (121) correctly compresses the specific point even during the reciprocating motion of the vertical drive unit (121).

[0043] The above drive control unit (122) can control the movement of the vertical drive unit (121) according to the signal transmitted from the first control unit (140).

[0044] As will be described later, the first control unit (140) can receive information regarding the chest compression speed, pressure, and number of times the compression unit applies to the specific point from the pressure measuring unit included in the vertical drive unit (121), generate a signal regarding the speed, pressure, and number of times the compression unit compresses the specific point, and transmit it to the drive control unit (122).

[0045] The above drive support member (123) is for supporting the above vertical drive member (121) and is extended from the support member (130) to be described later.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the vertical drive unit (121) may include a compression unit that contacts the specific point, a connecting unit that connects the compression unit and the drive control unit (122), and a pressure measuring unit that measures the pressure applied by the compression unit to the chest; but is not limited thereto.

[0047] In this regard, the vertical drive unit (121) may include a pressure unit (not shown) positioned on one side of the connection unit and in contact with the specific point to apply a predetermined pressure to the specific point, and may be configured so that when the connection unit moves in a vertical direction or contracts and expands in a vertical direction, the pressure unit applies force to the specific point at regular time intervals.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pressure measured by the pressure measuring unit is transmitted to the first control unit (140) to control the operation of the chest compression unit (120) in real time, but is not limited thereto.

[0049] The pressure measuring unit is for measuring the pressure applied by the compression unit to the specific point, and the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be verified through at least one of the depth to which the specific point is submerged by the compression unit, the speed of the compression unit, or the force applied by the compression unit. If the depth is shallow, the pressure measuring unit may request the compression unit to perform compression with a stronger force. Additionally, if the speed of the compression unit is less than 100 times per minute or more than 120 times per minute, the pressure measuring unit may request the compression speed to be adjusted.

[0050] In this regard, when the vertical drive unit (121) performs reciprocating motion in the vertical direction, the compression unit and the specific point come into contact, and during this process, slippage occurs, causing the compression unit and the specific point to become slightly misaligned. To prevent this problem, the position control unit (124) can finely adjust the position so that the compression unit does not deviate from the contact position even if it repeatedly comes into contact with the specific point.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the specific point may be a location corresponding to the lower half of the sternum, but is not limited thereto.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, contact between the compression portion and the specific point may be performed at one to four locations, but is not limited thereto. The compression portion may be composed of one detailed compression portion or may include two to four detailed compression portions spaced apart from each other.

[0053] Generally, cardiopulmonary resuscitation assists the heartbeat by applying compressions to only one specific point on the chest, and if compressions are applied simultaneously at two or more locations, the blood flow caused by the compression may not be smooth.

[0054] However, the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) according to the present invention may compress the specific point through one detailed compression part, or compress the specific point through three or four detailed compression parts. In the case where there are multiple detailed compression parts, strong pressure is applied to the specific point through the central detailed compression part to cause blood to circulate from the heart to the whole body, and one to three detailed compression parts not located in the center (non-central detailed compression parts) apply a predetermined pressure to the specific point after pressure is applied by the central detailed compression part (central detailed compression part) to improve the blood circulation speed. At this time, the vertical movement of the non-central detailed compression part proceeds in an alternating manner with the vertical movement of the central detailed compression part. When pressure is applied to the chest by the central detailed compression part, blood within the heart circulates to the whole body, and subsequently, when pressure is applied to the chest through the non-central detailed compression part, the blood circulation speed is improved. As a result, when the number of the above compression parts increases, the pressure applied to each of the detailed compression parts decreases by 1% to 5%, thereby reducing the frequency of problems such as rib fractures or liver ruptures.

[0055] In this regard, when pressure is applied by the non-central detailed compression part and the central detailed compression part simultaneously contacting the chest, even if blood is expelled from the heart by the pressure applied to the central detailed compression part, the blood vessels may be compressed by the pressure from the non-central detailed compression part, and the blood from the heart may not spread throughout the body.

[0056] In addition, it was confirmed that when there are five or more of the above-mentioned detailed compression parts, the effect of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is insufficient even if compression by the central detailed compression part and compression by the non-central detailed compression part are performed alternately.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the support member (130) may extend from both sides of the bottom plate portion (110) and support the chest compression portion (120), but is not limited thereto.

[0058] The support member (130) may be provided so that the chest compression member (120) is positioned on the patient's chest. At this time, the support member (130) may include at least two sub-support members (130), and each of the sub-support members (130) may be connected to both sides of the chest compression member (120) and may be detachable as needed. The sub-support member (130) may include a detachable structure to connect the base plate member (110) and the chest compression member (120) when using the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100), and a driving support member (123) that supports the vertical driving member (121) may be formed from the sub-support member (130).

[0059] Since the above-described detailed support (130) is detachable, the position of the compression part included in the vertical drive unit (121) can be adjusted. Specifically, the chest compression part (120) can be positioned at the specific point using the support (130) including the above-described detailed support (130), and the position of the compression part included in the chest compression part (120) can be finely adjusted using the position control unit (124).

[0060] When compression is performed by the vertical drive unit (121) of the chest compression unit (120) without the above position control unit (124), the compression unit of the vertical drive unit (121) moves in a vertical direction and slippage occurs during the friction process with the chest, so it may compress a place away from the above specific point, and as a result, the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be reduced.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first control unit (140) is for generating a signal for controlling the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100). When the compression part of the chest compression unit (120) is placed on a specific point on the patient's chest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be automatically performed on the patient by operation of a person operating the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) or by a stored operation. At this time, even if performed by the person's operation or a stored operation method, since body types may differ from person to person, the first control unit (140) can generate a control signal to control the position of the compression part and the cardiopulmonary resuscitation operation based on the signal collected from the pressure measuring unit and transmit it to the drive control unit (122).

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the support member (130) may additionally include a patient control unit for controlling the movement of the patient and a recovery notification unit located on the patient's hand, but is not limited thereto. When the patient falls, the patient's palm may be opened, and the recovery notification unit may be placed on the patient's palm.

[0063] During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the arms or upper body may shake in the left-right, up-down, or forward-backward directions due to compression. At this time, if the arms or upper body shake, the position of the chest compression unit (120) must be frequently adjusted by the position control unit (124), which causes inefficiency in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. To prevent this problem, patient control units are worn on both arms and shoulders of the patient and physically connected to minimize upper body movement.

[0064] In addition, since cardiopulmonary resuscitation itself causes pain to the patient, when the patient regains consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, they clench their fists due to the pain, and in this process, the recovery notification unit is activated so that the patient can be immediately notified that they have regained consciousness.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) may additionally include at least one of an electrode part attached to the chest; a defibrillator part that applies electrical energy required for defibrillation to the electrode; and a second control part that controls the operation of the defibrillator part and calculates the electrical energy, but is not limited thereto. In this case, the electrode part is attached to a total of two places, immediately below the right clavicle and at the mid-axillary line (axillary line) below the left nipple, and requires a gel to prevent burns. That is, the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) may additionally include a gel storage part that stores the gel.

[0066] When the electrode is attached to the chest, the second control unit charges the energy required for defibrillation through information collected from the electrode. At this time, chest compressions by the first control unit (140) are continuously performed while the energy is being charged. When the energy charging is complete, chest compressions by the first control unit (140) are stopped, people are moved away from the patient, and defibrillation is performed to prevent electric shock, and then chest compressions by the first control unit (140) are performed again.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, if either the operation of the chest compression unit (120) or the operation of the defibrillator unit is activated, the other may be deactivated, but is not limited thereto.

[0068] While cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves applying regular pressure to a stopped heart to make it beat normally, defibrillation involves temporarily applying an electric current to the heart when it beats irregularly to make the heart beat regularly. For defibrillation, electrodes can be attached to the chest and electrical energy can be applied to the electrodes.

[0069] At this time, cardiopulmonary resuscitation by the chest compression unit (120) and defibrillation by the defibrillator unit are not performed simultaneously, but only one of them is performed selectively. Specifically, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the defibrillator unit remains in a stopped state, and during the defibrillation process, compression of a specific point of the chest compression unit (120) is not performed. If defibrillation is performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the electrical transmission path may be obstructed by the cardiopulmonary resuscitation operation, and electricity may not be delivered to the heart. In addition, if current flows through the heart and then flows to the compression unit, there is a risk that the compression unit may malfunction.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the electrical energy of the defibrillator may be a DC voltage of 1000 V to 5000 V and a DC current of 10 A to 1000 A, but is not limited thereto. If the defibrillator uses an AC current, the heart muscle may be damaged.

[0071] In this regard, during the defibrillation process, electrical energy is applied to the patient's body for a very short period of time, from 1 ms to 10 ms. If the electrical energy is applied to the body for a period exceeding 10 ms, organs such as the heart or the muscles between the two electrodes may be damaged, such as by burns, by the electrical energy.

[0072] The second control unit is intended to control the operation of the defibrillator, and its operation may be determined according to the operation of the first control unit (140). However, the second control unit may exist separately from the first control unit (140), and the first control unit (140) may control the defibrillator operation while simultaneously controlling the cardiopulmonary resuscitation operation.

[0073] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) may additionally include an ultrasound unit for determining the heart condition of the patient, but is not limited thereto.

[0074] The above-mentioned ultrasound unit analyzes the movement of the heart wall and can analyze the heart rate status to determine whether defibrillation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is required.

[0075] In this regard, the probe of the ultrasound unit may be attached to the patient's armpit. It has been confirmed that while the probe may become detached during cardiopulmonary resuscitation when attached to the chest or back, the frequency of detachment is relatively reduced when attached to the armpit.

[0076] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100) may additionally include a communication unit and a GPS unit, but is not limited thereto. The GPS unit and the communication unit operate when a patient is placed on the bottom plate (110) of the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100), defibrillation is performed, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed. The GPS unit acquires location information of the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (100), and the communication unit can transmit the location information to an emergency relief agency (or public relief agency) such as a medical institution or 119 adjacent to the location information.

[0077] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device may additionally include a notification unit for indicating the current status, but is not limited thereto. Specifically, the notification unit may provide information regarding the cardiopulmonary resuscitation process by the first control unit (140), information regarding the defibrillation process by the second control unit, information regarding the status of the automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device, and information regarding the patient's status, but is not limited thereto.

[0078] For example, the above notification unit may display the above information through a display, and may also display only approximate information such as in progress, completed, need for operation (defibrillation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation), or malfunction through an LED, etc.

[0079] The present invention is to be explained in more detail through the following examples, but the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0080] [Example]

[0081] Five pigs weighing 50 kg were prepared, and after inducing cardiac arrest by anesthetizing them and intentionally applying strong electrical stimulation, the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was verified using an automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation device according to the present invention.

[0082] Next, a pig in a state of cardiac arrest was placed on the floor plate, and the pig's body temperature was lowered from 39°C to approximately 34°C through the temperature control unit to reduce its metabolism. Subsequently, the pig's back and two forelegs were bound with the patient control unit to restrict the pig's movement. Subsequently, an automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device was positioned so that a vertical drive unit was placed perpendicular to the pig's heart. At this time, the vertical drive unit includes one central detailed compression unit positioned in the center, and two non-central detailed compression units located to the left and right of the said detailed compression unit.

[0083] The above automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device was operated to place two electrodes on the pig's skin so as to pass through the pig's heart, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed on the pig while charging the electrical energy to be applied to the electrodes. At this time, the compression depth was 100 to 120 times per minute, with the central detailed compression part penetrating 5 to 6 cm. At this time, when the central detailed compression part contacted the pig and applied compression, and then separated from the pig, the non-central detailed compression part compressed the pig's chest, and the central detailed compression part and the non-central detailed compression part alternately compressed the pig.

[0084] In this regard, when performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on pigs, the pig's heart started beating normally even without using a non-central detailed compression device, but when a non-central detailed compression device was used, it started beating about 1 to 10 seconds faster.

[0085] Meanwhile, if there is an abnormality in the heartbeat after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the pig's heart was defibrillated using the aforementioned electrodes. In this case, if the pig's body temperature is not lowered, the burden placed on the brain cells or heart of the pig in cardiac arrest during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the defibrillation process may be significant.

Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
