A Low-Cost, Iot-Based Automatic Chest Compression Device For Out-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) represents a severe medical emergency that stands as the main global cause of death, while high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation  (CPR) serves as an essential treatment step. The process includes chest compression to continue blood circulation to essential organs. The manual delivery of chest compressions during CPR can produce insufficient compression depth and rate, which weakens resuscitation outcomes while exhausting the rescuers. An automatic chest compression device must be developed to provide high-quality CPR in OHCA situations because it improves survival rates and early neurological recovery. The research presents the development process for an automatic chest compression device that treats OHCA patients. The electromechanical system delivers chest compressions according to current CPR guidelines at the specified rate and depth. The device maintains a small size and is lightweight while remaining simple to transport between emergency locations and moving vehicles. The system features user-friendly operation through its clear instructions and visual indicators, which help rescuers during use. The device includes safety features which protect both patients and rescuers from harm through obstacle detection sensors and health condition monitoring sensors.
