ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed for administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a heart attack victim. The device includes a frame comprised of a main support base assembly and an upright portion with a top arm portion which is pivoted intermediate its length to the upright. A conventional air cylinder assembly is pivotally connected between first ends of the base assembly and pivotal arm to actuate the pivotal arm to apply appropriate pressure to the chest area of a victim, disposed in a prone position beneath an abutment member, adjustably carried by a second end of the pivotal arm. A conventional tank of pressurized oxygen is connected to a pneumatic system to cyclically operate the air cylinder assembly to apply the pressure to the chest area and to feed the oxygen through a conventional face mask, connected in the pneumatic system and disposed over the nose and mouth area of the victim. The upright portion is collapsible on the base assembly for storage purposes.
