Description

DISPOSITIVO DE REANIMACIÓN CARDIO-PULMONAR. CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION DEVICE.
MEMORIA DESCRIPTIVA La presente invención corresponde a un dispositivo de reanimación cardio-pulmonar (RCP) neumático, que aplica masaje cardiaco y abdominal, junto con desfϊbrilación y ventilación nasofaríngea, útil para aplicaciones in situ, portátil y auto sustentado.DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY The present invention corresponds to a pneumo-pulmonary cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device, which applies cardiac and abdominal massage, along with nasopharyngeal defjbrilation and ventilation, useful for on-site, portable and self-sustained applications.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN El éxito de la resucitación después de un ataque cardíaco es bajo, según las estadísticas, menos del 5% de pacientes sobreviven largo plazo después de salir de la resucitación en el hospital. Cuando esta recuperación es intra hospitalaria dicho índice puede subir a un 10%. Un ataque cardíaco consiste en un evento en el cual el corazón se detiene precipitada y repentinamente. Los síntomas asociados y los precursores a menudo son inadvertidos e incluyen varias deficiencias cardiacas como arritmias o enfermedad como ateroesclerosis, choque anafüáctico profiindo, cambios importantes en la composición de electrolito de la sangre, o la sobredosis de fármacos. Un paro cardíaco es generalmente fatal dentro de algunos minutos, sobre todo cuando no es adecuadamente atendido. Si la circulación de la sangre y la oxigenación a través del cuerpo se reestablece dentro de algunos minutos posterior al paro cardíaco, el daño isquémico irreversible al tejido corporal (carencia del oxígeno) puede ser reducido al mínimo o ser evitado.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The success of resuscitation after a heart attack is low, according to statistics, less than 5% of patients survive long term after leaving resuscitation in the hospital. When this recovery is intra-hospital, this index can rise to 10%. A heart attack is an event in which the heart stops abruptly and suddenly. Associated symptoms and precursors are often unnoticed and include several cardiac deficiencies such as arrhythmias or disease such as atherosclerosis, anaphylactic profiindo shock, significant changes in the electrolyte composition of the blood, or drug overdose. A cardiac arrest is usually fatal within a few minutes, especially when it is not adequately addressed. If blood circulation and oxygenation throughout the body is reestablished within a few minutes after cardiac arrest, irreversible ischemic damage to body tissue (lack of oxygen) can be minimized or avoided.
En los tratamientos comunes o tradicionales de la resucitación cardiopulmonar (RCP), se dan masajes o se estimula a la víctima externamente para recircular sangre a través del cuerpo del paciente. Además, el paciente se ventila para proporcionar el flujo de aire a través de los pulmones para la oxigenación de la sangre. Con frecuencia se emplea un desfibrilador, que envía una corriente eléctrica fuerte a través del corazón, se puede utilizar para eliminar los impulsos arrítmicos. Tradicionalmente, hay personas entrenadas médicamente para administrar o suministrar RCP. El RCP tradicional es suministrado manualmente, en donde el tórax es comprimido en una manera cíclica, y la respiración se promueve mediante ventilación de las vías respiratorias del paciente, por ejemplo, mediante ventilación boca a boca.In common or traditional treatments of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), massages are given or the victim is stimulated externally to recirculate blood through the patient's body. In addition, the patient is ventilated to provide air flow through the lungs for oxygenation of the blood. Often a defibrillator is used, which sends a strong electric current through the heart, it can be used to eliminate arrhythmic impulses. Traditionally, there are people medically trained to administer or provide CPR. Traditional CPR is delivered manually, wherein the chest is compressed in a cyclic fashion, and breathing is promoted by ventilation of the patient's airway, for example, by mouth-to-mouth ventilation.
La guía de sugerencia publicada por el consejo europeo de la resucitación y la asociación del corazón de American recomiendan una compresión del tórax cercano a 20% de la profundidad del esternón. El general, la profundidad del esternón del adulto varía de cerca de 175 milímetros a 260 milímetros. Así, la profundidad de la compresión del tórax recomendada debiera ser de 35 a 52 milímetros. Manualmente, las compresiones del tórax del paciente debieran ser vigorosas y físicamente exigentes, haciendo difícil dar un RCP de manera constante o correcta por periodos continuos y medianamente extensos. Ahora se dispone de dispositivos de compresión/descompresión del tórax (dispositivos de RCP) que estimulan mecánicamente el corazón. Estos dispositivos comprimen y descomprimen el tórax de un paciente en una manera cíclica. Estos dispositivos se pueden incorporar en conjuntos o sistemas portátiles, por ejemplo los dispositivos de LUCAS, Thumper y ZOLL. La compresión/descompresión del tórax o los dispositivos automatizados de RCP incluyen una unidad compresora, que actúa sobre una superficie de contacto del tórax para comprimir y/o para descomprimir mecánicamente el tórax del paciente. Para esto el paciente se ubica en una posición boca arriba durante la administración del RCP. En general la unidad compresora se apoya verticalmente sobre el tórax del paciente de modo que la superficie de contacto esté ejerciendo presión sobre el tórax del paciente, justo sobre el esternón. En otras modalidades, los dispositivos automatizados de RCP conocidos también utilizan medidas terapéuticas adicionales. Por ejemplo, los desfibriladores eléctricos se pueden utilizar para desfibrilar el corazón del paciente por separado o conjuntamente con el estímulo mecánico sobre el tórax. Por ejemplo, en US 4.273.114 se describe un aparato que se puede utilizar para la compresión mecánica del tórax simultáneamente con desfibrilación del corazónThe suggestion guide published by the European Council of Resuscitation and Heart Association of American recommends a compression of the thorax close to 20% of the depth of the sternum. The general, adult sternum depth varies from about 175 mm to 260 mm. Thus, the recommended depth of chest compression should be 35 to 52 millimeters. Manually, the compressions of the patient's chest should be vigorous and physically demanding, making it difficult to give CPR consistently or correctly for continuous and moderately extensive periods. Chest compression / decompression devices (CPR devices) are now available that mechanically stimulate the heart. These devices compress and decompress a patient's chest in a cyclic fashion. These devices can be incorporated in sets or portable systems, for example the LUCAS, Thumper and ZOLL devices. Chest compression / decompression or automated CPR devices include a compressor unit, which acts on a chest contact surface to compress and / or mechanically decompress the patient's chest. For this the patient is placed in an upright position during the administration of the CPR. In general, the compressor unit rests vertically on the chest of the patient so that the contact surface is exerting pressure on the patient's chest, just above the sternum. In other embodiments, the known automated PCR devices also use additional therapeutic measures. For example, electrical defibrillators can be used to defibrillate the patient's heart separately or in conjunction with the mechanical stimulus on the chest. For example, US 4,273,114 discloses an apparatus that can be use for mechanical compression of the chest simultaneously with defibrillation of the heart
Un ataque cardiaco a menudo se acompaña de una detención de la función respiratoria. Disponer de una fuente de oxígeno de ventilación adecuada para suministrar por las vías respiratorias, permitiendo oxigenar sangre, resulta de importancia para Ia resucitación del paciente, ya que dicha sangre comienza a recircular a través del cuerpo del paciente impulsada por la compresión/descompresión del tórax. En procedimientos netamente manuales y administraciones tradicionales de RCP, quien presta los primeros auxilios ejecuta la ventilación en un sistema boca a boca. En tal escenario, los dispositivos para ventilación son de ayuda durante la ejecución del RCP, mejorando el tiempo del flujo de oxígeno a los pulmones del paciente. En US 6.312.399 se describe un estimulador con electrodos para el estímulo de los músculos respiratorios del paciente durante la compresión/descompresión del tórax durante un RCP. El estímulo de músculos respiratorios causa un aumento de la magnitud y duración de la presión intratorácica negativa (descompresión del tórax) por la cual la sangre venosa es aspirada al corazón y a los pulmones.A heart attack is often accompanied by a stoppage of respiratory function. Having a suitable source of oxygen for ventilation through the respiratory tract, allowing blood to be oxygenated, is of importance for the resuscitation of the patient, since said blood begins to recirculate through the patient's body driven by compression / decompression of the thorax . In purely manual procedures and traditional CPR administrations, the person providing first aid performs ventilation in a mouth-to-mouth system. In such a scenario, devices for ventilation are helpful during the execution of CPR, improving the time of oxygen flow to the patient's lungs. US Pat. No. 6,312,399 describes a stimulator with electrodes for stimulating the respiratory muscles of the patient during compression / decompression of the chest during CPR. The stimulation of respiratory muscles causes an increase in the magnitude and duration of negative intrathoracic pressure (chest decompression) by which venous blood is drawn to the heart and lungs.
De forma equivalente, en US5.692.498 se divulga el uso de una válvula para medir el aire en los pulmones de un paciente. La válvula se apoya en un tubo endotraqueal, que está instalado en la tráquea del paciente. La válvula permite el ingreso de aire solamente cuando la cavidad del pulmón o las presiones intratorácicas caen debajo de una presión umbral, por ejemplo, durante la descompresión del tórax. Por consiguiente, el ingreso de aire durante la administración de RCP ocurre cuando el flujo sanguíneo venoso es aspirado en el corazón por las presiones intratorácicas bajas.Similarly, US Pat. No. 5,692,498 discloses the use of a valve for measuring air in a patient's lungs. The valve rests on an endotracheal tube, which is installed in the patient's trachea. The valve allows air to enter only when the lung cavity or intrathoracic pressures fall below a threshold pressure, for example, during chest decompression. Therefore, air entry during the administration of CPR occurs when venous blood flow is aspirated into the heart by low intrathoracic pressures.

Figura 1 muestra un gráfico que indica la efectividad del RCP cuando es efectuado por personal de primeros auxilios o calificado para estos fines, en donde a medida que transcurre el tiempo desde la implementación del RCP, las posibilidades de sobrevivencia del paciente disminuyen. Lo anterior se puede deber a las facultades biomecánicas propias del cuerpo, que resultan poco eficaces para mantener de manera prolongada el ejercicio de reanimación, ya que el cansancio va generando descoordinación y falta de fuerza para efectuar la adecuada presión.The following figures are associated with the present invention, correspond to evidence that supports innovation and illustrate some preferred embodiments, in no way corresponds or seeks to restrict the scope of the present invention. Figure 1 shows a graph that indicates the effectiveness of CPR when performed by first aid personnel or qualified for these purposes, where as the time elapses since the implementation of CPR, the chances of survival of the patient decrease. This can be due to the body's own biomechanical faculties, which are not very effective in prolonging the resuscitation exercise, since fatigue is generating lack of coordination and lack of strength to carry out adequate pressure.

Conforme a la invención, el dispositivo comprende al menos, medios para generar masaje cardiaco y ventilación, además comprende medios para implementar masaje abdominal complementario al masaje cardiaco y desfibrilación. Dichos procesos se efectúan de manera automática, prácticamente independientes de operarios. Por otro lado, en cuanto a calidad y frecuencia, su operación es continua y constante en el tiempo, de manera que se asegura un periodo de primeros auxilios de alta eficacia. Además, dichos medios poseen versatilidad en su funcionamiento, por un lado, pueden funcionar de manera coordinada y sinérgica, y por otro, pueden operar de manera separada o secuencial e independiente, conforme a los requerimientos de cuidados del paciente que se está interviniendo. En su modalidad preferida, el operario del equipo ingresa los datos para inicializar el aparato de acuerdo a los requerimientos del paciente (chequeo del paciente, sus condiciones de fϊbrilación, masaje y fibrilación), de acuerdo a esto, el equipo ejecuta los procedimientos indicados y entrega la retroalimentación al operario, además el equipo posee un software encargado de moderar el funcionamiento del circuito, para generar las tareas de acuerdo a la información ingresada. Luego el operario solo recibe la información que le entrega la pantalla, en un proceso de retroalimentación. En una modalidad de la invención, el gas de respiración se encuentra bajo presión positiva y se aplica a las vías respiratorias del paciente. El suministro de gas de respiración se puede efectuar a través de un tubo de suministro endotraqueal o a través de una máscara de gas, que cubre la boca y/o la nariz del paciente. Además, el gas de respiración puede ser oxígeno o una mezcla conveniente de gases oxígeno-inerte más otros compuestos útiles para este tratamiento. Por cierto que el gas de respiración se opera en los rangos, condiciones y mediciones adecuadas y convenientes, para una administración beneficiosa a un paciente. En una modalidad de la invención, la composición de gas pueden incluir, por ejemplo, soluciones cardioplégicas (tales como se describen en WO 02/11741) para aliviar el efecto de un ataque cardíaco, composiciones para mejorar la recirculación (por ejemplo, adrenalina, vasodilatadores, vasopresina, cortisona, insulina, o ciclosporina A), y enfriadores salinos adecuados. Las soluciones pueden ser introducidas en el gas de respiración bajo la forma de aerosol, niebla o conforme a las modalidades adecuadas en el estado de la técnica. En una modalidad de la invención, en cuanto a la reanimación y masaje cardiaco del paciente, éste se estimula mecánica y externamente mediante masajes usando un dispositivo compresor/descompresor. Las tasas, frecuencia o razones para el ciclo de compresión/descompresión se pueden configurar o elegir convenientemente conforme a los requerimientos del paciente y los objetivos del equipo medico. De manera preferida, los ciclos pueden ser programados, por ejemplo, desde al menos 30 ciclos/minuto, de preferencia aproximadamente de 60 ciclos por minuto a 200 ciclos por minuto. Durante el ciclo de masaje cardiaco, se puede inducir al paciente un ciclo de inspiración y expiración coordinado con la presión positiva del gas de respiración aplicado en la reanimación. La coordinación de los ciclos de masaje y respiración dependerán de la retroalimentación que reciba el operario del estado del paciente, por medio de la pantalla u observación fisiológica, porque será éste el encargado de cambiar los ciclos del funcionamiento del aparato, según lo más indicado para el paciente. En una modalidad de la invención se puede implementar estímulo eléctrico mediante el uso de los electrodos de desfibrilación, los que serán convenientemente colocados, por ejemplo, en el tórax y espalda del paciente. El estímulo del electrodo se puede, por ejemplo, administrar ya sea como pulsos eléctricos o golpe desfibrilador, o una combinación de ambos. El estímulo eléctrico puede ser administrado en conjunto con la aplicación de ventilación y mientras se ejecuta el estímulo mecánico del corazón. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, el procedimiento de RCP se puede modificar convenientemente conforme a periodos alternados de estímulo eléctrico con períodos de estímulo mecánico.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a non-invasive, portable and integrated device to implement CPR procedures with the objective of re-establishing oxygenation of the blood, cardiac movement, promoting blood circulation through the body and, consequently, keep alive individuals who have experienced complex pulmonary heart disease. According to the invention, the device comprises at least means for generating cardiac massage and ventilation, it also comprises means for implementing abdominal massage complementary to cardiac massage and defibrillation. These processes are carried out automatically, practically independent of operators. On the other hand, in terms of quality and frequency, its operation is continuous and constant over time, so that a period of first aid of high efficiency is ensured. Furthermore, said means have versatility in their operation, on the one hand, they can function in a coordinated and synergistic manner, and for another, they can operate separately or sequentially and independently, according to the care requirements of the patient who is intervening. In its preferred modality, the equipment operator enters the data to initialize the device according to the patient's requirements (patient's check, its conditions of fibrillation, massage and fibrillation), according to this, the team executes the procedures indicated and delivers the feedback to the operator, in addition the team has a software in charge of moderating the operation of the circuit, to generate the tasks according to the information entered. Then the operator only receives the information provided by the screen, in a feedback process. In one embodiment of the invention, the breathing gas is under positive pressure and is applied to the respiratory tract of the patient. The supply of breathing gas can be effected through an endotracheal delivery tube or through a gas mask, which covers the patient's mouth and / or nose. In addition, the breathing gas may be oxygen or a convenient mixture of oxygen-inert gases plus other compounds useful for this treatment. Certainly, the breathing gas is operated in the appropriate and convenient ranges, conditions and measurements, for a beneficial administration to a patient. In one embodiment of the invention, the gas composition may include, for example, cardioplegic solutions (such as described in WO 02/11741) for alleviating the effect of a heart attack, compositions for improving recirculation (eg, adrenaline, vasodilators, vasopressin, cortisone, insulin, or cyclosporin A), and suitable saline chillers. The solutions can be introduced into the breathing gas in the form of aerosol, mist or according to the modalities suitable in the state of the art. In one embodiment of the invention, in terms of resuscitation and cardiac massage of the patient, this is mechanically and externally stimulated by massage using a compressor / decompressor device. The rates, frequency or reasons for the compression / decompression cycle can be configured or conveniently chosen according to the requirements of the patient and the objectives of the medical team. Preferably, the cycles can be programmed, for example, from at least 30 cycles / minute, preferably approximately 60 cycles per minute to 200 cycles per minute. During the cardiac massage cycle, the patient can be induced to have an inspiratory and expiratory cycle coordinated with the positive pressure of the breathing gas applied in resuscitation. The coordination of the massage and breathing cycles will depend on the feedback received by the operator from the patient's condition, through the screen or physiological observation, because this will be responsible for changing the cycles of the appliance's operation, as indicated for the patient. In one embodiment of the invention, electrical stimulation can be implemented by the use of defibrillation electrodes, which will be conveniently placed, for example, in the thorax and back of the patient. The stimulus of the electrode can, for example, be administered either as electric pulses or defibrillator shock, or a combination of both. The electrical stimulus can be administered in conjunction with the application of ventilation and while performing the mechanical stimulation of the heart. However, in some cases, the CPR procedure can be conveniently modified according to alternating periods of electrical stimulation with periods of mechanical stimulation.
La unidad compresora usada para el estímulo mecánico puede ser neumáticamente impulsada. El mismo gas de ventilación que se aplica a las vías respiratorias se puede emplear en primera instancia para accionar la o las unidades compresoras. Una fuente conveniente de gas de ventilación puede ser, por ejemplo, un tubo de gas comprimido o un recipiente de gas presurizado que puede ser empleado para accionar la unidad compresora. En el RCP estándar, solamente masaje cardiaco, la dificultad primordial es mantener la presión aórtica y una buena hemodinámica del débito cardiaco. Una de las dificultades para este objetivo es la deficiencia biomecánica y física de los rescatistas y paramédicos, en general del hombre, para la mantención correcta de la acción de reanimación en forma prolongada y con estándares de calidad invariables, dicha deficiencia se muestra en la figuraThe compressor unit used for mechanical stimulation can be pneumatically driven. The same ventilation gas that is applied to the respiratory tract can be used in the first instance to operate the compressor unit (s). A convenient source of venting gas can be, for example, a compressed gas tube or a pressurized gas container that can be used to drive the compressor unit. In standard CPR, only cardiac massage, the main difficulty is to maintain aortic pressure and good hemodynamics of cardiac output. One of the difficulties for this objective is the biomechanical and physical deficiency of the rescuers and paramedics, in general of the man, for the correct maintenance of the resuscitation action. prolonged and with invariable quality standards, said deficiency is shown in the figure
1. Por otro lado, hay una causa fisiológica y anatómica que perjudica la ejecución de asistencia y recuperación, ésta tiene que ver con la pérdida de tonicidad muscular de una persona inconsciente o en paro, lo cual produce un desvío y pérdida de las compresiones torácicas hacia los huesos, espacios y concavidades vacías del abdomen y de tórax. Con el objetivo de subsanar esta deficiencia, existen técnicas alterativas para un RCP, una de ellas es conocida como Compresión Abdominal Interpuesta (RCP-CAI) o Compresión Abdominal Simultánea (RCP-CAS), las que consisten en aplicar una compresión abdominal de manera sincrónica o simultánea con la compresión torácica. Al considerar los procedimientos estándares de RCP esta labor debe ser efectuada por un segundo o tercer rescatista o paramédico que presta los primeros auxilios como se muestra en la figura 3. Estas compresiones en el abdomen durante el RCP mejorarían la presión en la aorta del corazón, mejorando el flujo sanguíneo hacia el cerebro. Estudios clínicos han demostrado que las presiones arteriales aórticas se adecúan por sobre la mínima de circulación alcanzando incluso los 80 a 90 mmHg, a diferencia del RCP estándar que alcanza los 40 mmHg, siendo insuficiente para la adecuada perfusión del cerebro y otros órganos vitales. Otra técnica, también de tipo fisiológica, se conoce como compresión/descompresión activa (RCP-CDA), la cual consiste en que una ventosa de succión levanta la pared torácica anterior activamente durante la descompresión, de esta forma, al disminuir la presión intratorácica durante la fase de descompresión, aumenta el retorno venoso al corazón, aumenta el débito cardiaco y, por consiguiente, las presiones de perfusión coronaria y cerebral durante la fase de compresión. Adicionalmente, la combinación de ambas técnicas de RCP se deriva en una tercera modalidad conocido como RCP con compresiones/descompresiones fásicas torácicas- abdominales (RCP-CDFTA). Conforme a lo anterior, una modalidad preferida de la invención comprende medios para aplicar masaje abdominal en cualquiera de las modalidades anteriormente descritas, en consecuencia los ciclos de compresión/descompresión se aplican tanto a la cavidad torácica como a la cavidad abdominal. Esta aplicación conjunta permite maximizar los esfuerzos de reanimación.1. On the other hand, there is a physiological and anatomical cause that harms the execution of assistance and recovery, this has to do with the loss of muscle tone of an unconscious or unemployed person, which produces a deviation and loss of chest compressions towards the bones, empty spaces and concavities of the abdomen and thorax. In order to correct this deficiency, there are alternative techniques for a CPR, one of which is known as Interposed Abdominal Compression (CPR-CAI) or Simultaneous Abdominal Compression (CPR-CAS), which consist of applying abdominal compression synchronously or simultaneous with thoracic compression. When considering the standard CPR procedures this work should be done by a second or third rescuer or paramedic who provides first aid as shown in figure 3. These compressions in the abdomen during CPR would improve the pressure in the aorta of the heart, improving blood flow to the brain. Clinical studies have shown that aortic arterial pressures are adequate above the minimum circulation reaching even 80 to 90 mmHg, unlike standard RCP that reaches 40 mmHg, being insufficient for adequate perfusion of the brain and other vital organs. Another technique, also of physiological type, is known as active compression / decompression (CPR-CDA), which consists in that a suction cup lifts the anterior chest wall actively during decompression, in this way, by decreasing the intrathoracic pressure during the decompression phase increases the venous return to the heart, increases the cardiac output and, consequently, the pressures of coronary and cerebral perfusion during the compression phase. Additionally, the combination of both CPR techniques is derived in a third modality known as CPR with thoracic-abdominal phasic compressions / decompressions (RCP-CDFTA). According to the foregoing, a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises means for applying abdominal massage in any of the modalities described above, consequently the compression / decompression cycles are applied both to the thoracic cavity and to the abdominal cavity. This joint application allows maximizing resuscitation efforts.
En el procedimiento de RCP, la sincronización y la fuerza de los ciclos de compresión/descompresión, la sincronización del estímulo del electro, y la ventilación son decididas y programadas por el cuerpo de asistencia medica que presta los primeros auxilios, con el objetivo de que las actividades se sincronicen para aumentar la eficacia del procedimiento de reanimación. Por lo tanto, el dispositivo tiene una pantalla (display) de control que permite ingresar los datos de programación para su operación. Dicha pantalla táctil otorga ventajas sobre los equipos descritos en el estado del arte, ya que permite al usuario fijar las condiciones de funcionamiento del equipo y obtener información referida al estado de salud del paciente de manera cómoda, rápida y práctica. Adicionalmente, el dispositivo puede incluir un software que coordine la operación del dispositivo y las aplicaciones de las prestaciones conforme a programas previamente diseñados y responder a señales de alarmas recogidas de los electrodos o sensores que disponga el equipo. En una modalidad de la invención, el dispositivo comprende un sistema de ventosa-pistón, de preferencia torácico y abdominal, (9 y 10) para aplicar masaje cardiaco. La distancia y ubicación de dicho sistema puede ser regulable de manera que el dispositivo pueda ser aplicable a pacientes de distinta contextura y edad. En una modalidad preferida uno de los sistemas ventosa-pistón es fijo y el otro móvil, de preferencia el sistema que se mantiene fijo es el que otorga el masaje torácico. El equipo contempla un sistema de seguridad que evita el desplazamiento de los pistones de uno con respecto al otro, una vez determinada la ubicación ideal para ellos. Dichos sistemas están contenidos dentro de una carcasa o módulo superior (1) que podría incluir a los demás componentes de la presente invención. El sistema de ventilación (7) comprende una mascarilla o un sistema endotraqueal que permite suministrar respiración eficiente al paciente. Ya que el sistema de ventilación surge desde una carcasa (1) otorga cierta firmeza y seguridad al dispositivo ya que este se moverá conforme al movimiento del paciente en un rango de movimiento restringido al que naturalmente ocurre entre la cabeza y el tórax.In the CPR procedure, the synchronization and the strength of the compression / decompression cycles, the synchronization of the stimulus of the electro, and the ventilation are decided and programmed by the medical assistance body that provides the first aid, with the objective that the activities are synchronized to increase the effectiveness of the resuscitation procedure. Therefore, the device has a control screen that allows entering the programming data for its operation. Said touch screen provides advantages over the equipment described in the state of the art, since it allows the user to set the operating conditions of the equipment and obtain information referring to the patient's health condition in a comfortable, fast and practical way. Additionally, the device may include software that coordinates the operation of the device and the applications of the benefits according to previously designed programs and respond to alarm signals collected from the electrodes or sensors available to the equipment. In one embodiment of the invention, the device comprises a suction-piston system, preferably thoracic and abdominal, (9 and 10) to apply cardiac massage. The distance and location of said system can be adjustable so that the device can be applicable to patients of different build and age. In a preferred embodiment, one of the suction-piston systems is fixed and the other is movable, preferably the system that remains fixed is that which gives the thoracic massage. The equipment contemplates a security system that avoids the displacement of the pistons of one with respect to the other, once determined the ideal location for them. Said systems are contained within a housing or upper module (1) that could include the other components of the present invention. The ventilation system (7) comprises a mask or an endotracheal system that allows to provide efficient breathing to the patient. Since the ventilation system emerges from a casing (1) it gives a certain firmness and security to the device since it will move according to the movement of the patient in a range of motion restricted to that which naturally occurs between the head and the thorax.
