Introduction:

cardiorespiratory arrest is the most dangerous situation that a human being can face; for your recovery you need to act immediately and correctly. The start time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is vital to achieve patient survival.

Objective: to socialize the advantages offered by Lazarus CPR in emergency care for patients with cardiorespiratory arrest.

Methods:

an applied investigation was carried out, with an experimental design that starts from the identification of a health need and proceeds to the ideation, design and creation of a prototype of assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment called Lazarus CPR. A multidisciplinary team was created that allowed obtaining the mechanical, ergonomic and electrical plans that allow proper operation under the command of software specifically designed for the equipment. After the modeling and design phase was completed, functional tests were carried out that were finally passed.

Result:

The Lazarus CPR is a superior prototype in several ways to the previous models on the market. It presents an ergonomic design that allows a better adjustment to the physical complexion of the patients; it can be used in children and adults; presents the possibility of defibrillator coupling; presents 4 cycles of compressions/breaths; the height of the piston can be readjusted to guarantee adaptation prior to chest compressions; 6-hour battery life, understandable in energy saving mode up to 8 hours and facilities for assembly, transport and coupling to the patient.

Conclusions:

The Lazarus CPR satisfactorily passed the validation tests, showing adequate operating parameters for the function that is designed; It is then appropriate to proceed to the field test before starting its production in series.
