Principles of a Prototype Model of a Device for Automatic Control of Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation Procedures

The article is to present a prototype of a device intended for automatic control of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation outside the hospital. For the assessment of a patient’s condition the device uses the vital parameters: respiratory noises and vibrations of the walls of the carotid arteries. The device is made in the form of a «surgical collar» and does not requires extra actions to fix the sensors to a patient’s body. Resuscitation is performed with sound and light signals of different types for cardiac compressions and artificial respiration.
