INTELLIGENT INFORMATION AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEM OF THE DEVICE FOR CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION

Background. An urgent task of developing devices for indirect cardiac massage used in the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is to ensure effective ventilation of the lungs without damage to the chest regardless of the personal characteristics of the resuscitated person's constitution. The aim of the work was to develop an intelligent information-measuring system of the device that will allow adapting the operating mode of the pressure generation subsystem to the personal characteristics of the resuscitated person's constitution and organizing its metrological self-control. Results. Based on the analysis of current regulatory documents, characteristics of existing devices and the results of patent research, the structure of an intelligent information-measuring system of the device for indirect cardiac massage was developed. Conclusions. Intellectualization of the information-measuring system of the apparatus for indirect massage by introducing structural redundancy in the form of a group of identical channels for measuring the pressure on the chest of the resuscitated person based on a strain gauge sensor and functional redundancy in the form of calculating the arithmetic mean of 16 synchronous results of pressure measurements increases the efficiency and safety of performing indirect cardiac massage during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
