What is a cpr press plate?

CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) press board, also known as cardiopulmonary resuscitation rescue board or cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulator first aid board, is an important auxiliary tool for medical personnel in the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation rescue. Its main role is to provide better support for patients in some beds when the bed surface is soft, to improve the compression effect and ensure the effectiveness of the CPR process.

The CPR press plate is made of high-density polyethylene plastic with a strong and durable surface that can withstand frequent and intense press operations. Its unique design, with one end cupped, holds the patient's head back just enough to ensure that the patient's airway remains open in the correct position during CPR. This design is particularly important for patients with cervical spine injuries, as it is important to avoid secondary cervical injuries caused by movements such as headlifts during CPR.

In addition to keeping the airway open and avoiding cervical injury, the CPR press plate has several other functions. For example, the woven design of its layout prevents the patient from sliding during CPR, ensuring stable compressions. In addition, there are contour lines on the front of the press plate, which help the medical staff to lift the patient more easily and thus perform more effective CPR.

During CPR, the medical staff first places the press plate below the patient's chest back, and then places the press head directly against the lower middle of the sternum, the midpoint of the line between the two nipples. Then, set the press frequency and turn on the machine to start pressing. During the entire CPR process, the CPR press plate can play a good support and auxiliary role to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the press.

In short, the CPR press plate is an indispensable auxiliary tool for medical personnel in the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Its unique design and practical function can greatly improve the effectiveness and safety of the CPR process. For medical staff, mastering the methods and skills of CPR press plate is of great significance to improve the success rate of rescue and reduce the mortality rate of patients.
