Description
In cardiac catheterization laboratories (cath labs), manual chest compressions are crucial during CPR for acute heart attack patients. However, existing automated compression devices are not widely used in cath labs due to limitations like obstructed visualization of the heart and difficult installation. To address these challenges, the project aims to develop a device that is easy to install, provides high-quality chest compressions, and remains invisible on fluoroscopy. This device will offer a user-friendly alternative to manual compressions, improving outcomes for cardiac arrest patients in cath lab settings.
