Abstract
A disposable pneumatic chest compression vest includes an outer shell coupled with an inner bladder. Both the outer shell and inner bladder are made from materials that emit relatively low emissions when burned. Also, the outer shell is made from a flexible, non-stretch material that provides good chest compressions. The vest is easy to position about a patient and is quickly closed by adhesive strip or other closure. When no longer needed, the vest is easily removed and disposed of as medical waste.
