ABSTRACT:
Portable apparatus is provided for use by a rescuer in administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a patient or for use as a training aid in the application of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A light weight, inflatable, fluid-filled, foam or other resilient cushion has a pressure gauge attached thereto, and the cushion is placed on the patient's chest. Force is applied by the rescuer onto the cushion and the pressure gauge displays the force applied so as to enable the rescuer to observe and control the force being applied to the patient's chest. A timer may also be provided with the pressure gauge to enable the rescuer to properly time the application and release of force to the patient's chest.
