5/22 restoration of cardiac activity or until the defibrillator is deactivated externally, for example by a rescue service paramedic.
Preferably, the device according to the invention comprises as a therapeutic device a cardiac compression device for cardiac resuscitation. With this embodiment of the invention, minimal circulation can be obtained which is again produced and / or maintained in patients. Preferably, the monitoring device may trigger cardiac compression when it determines cardiac arrest and particularly it may preferably be performed for a sufficient period of time until it detects restoration of cardiac activity or until the cardiac compression device is externally disabled, for example by a rescue service paramedic.
The cardiac compression device is preferably controlled such that a resting phase follows, respectively, numerous predetermined cardiac compressions, wherein further therapeutic measures may preferably be performed by one or more different therapeutic devices. device (eg, artificial respiration, intraosseous drug delivery). The cardiac compression device is preferably controlled so that when the patient is also treated with the defibrillator, cardiac compressions occur, respectively, between individual defibrillations and / or cardioversions. The preferred frequency of cardiac compressions is between 30 and 200, preferably between 50 and 120 compressions per minute. The residence time in the maximum compressed position is preferably the same as in the relaxed position, that is, the pressure phase and the relaxed phase have the same length. A preferred cardiac compression device uses air pockets which are preferably inflated and emptied by a pump,

In this embodiment of the invention, the oxygen or oxygen containing mixture may preferably be controlled by means of a pump or by adjusting the pressure of the oxygen reservoir provided as individual artificial respiration movements through the tube.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is assumed that as soon as the detection of the device determines respiratory arrest after a certain latency period, the trachea is pierced by means of the perforation unit below the larynx and a breathing tube. The artificial pressure is endotracheally pressed through the cannula lumen into the lungs. The artificial respiration tube is preferably only slightly smaller in diameter than the cannula. It is pressed towards the lungs, preferably between 5 and 15 centimeters, in particular preferably approximately 10 centimeters. Preferably in the upper third of the tube a cuff is

Tis mutandis, as described in US 5,156,148. The relevant contents of the above mentioned document form part of the present description by referring to it.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be described in more detail hereinafter with reference to the drawings and schematic embodiments with further details, wherein:
Figure 1 shows a schematic block diagram of a device according to the invention for medical care of a patient in an emergency;
Figure 2 shows a schematic view of a tracheal perforation unit.
DESCRIPTION Referring to the Modalities A device for the care of a patient in an emergency in accordance with the present invention is schematically shown in Figure 1. Device 1 comprises a liner 2 that fits firmly to the body of the patient. user. In the jacket 2 in the transition region from the central to the lower third of the user's sternal bone a tubular air pocket 3 of a cardiac compression device 4 is sewn into the jacket 2 in order to perform a cardiac compression in an emergency. , according to the chest pump method to maintain minimum circulation. The air bag 3 may be inflated and emptied by means of a pump such as, for example, that described in EP 1 550 398 A1. In a further embodiment of the invention, through a pneumatic plunger or spring mechanism with a support surface of approximately 5 x 10 cm along the sternum bone, the sternum bone is pressed in the transition region from the central part to the third. lower at a frequency of approximately 100 by approximately 6 cm per minute against the spine. The length of stay

20/22 at the maximum compressed position, thus, is same as that of the relaxed position, so that the compression and relaxed phases have the same duration. In order to allow pressure against the spine, the harness and / or shirt must adopt a rigid state in the posterior region for the respective duration of cardiac compression, for example by means of air pockets disposed at this point. In addition, through this unit, access can be created to the sternal bone marrow through a perforation cannula for administration of injectable or infusible drugs.
In addition, two electrodes 5, 6 of a defibrillator 7 are sewn into the jacket 2 which, if required, release gel or otherwise allow skin protection and may then perform cardioversion. In addition, an expansion sensor 8 of a monitoring device 9 is fitted to the jacket to monitor the user's respiratory activity.
At the top of the jacket 2 disposes the piercing device 10a, 10b of a respiratory therapeutic device 11 which can pierce the patient's trachea 18 with a semicircular piercing cannula 17 of approximately 14 mm diameter as a piercing unit. For this purpose pneumatic means or a pre-tensioned spring are provided, similar to the autoinjector described in US 5,405,362. An oxygen unit 12 of the respiratory therapy unit uses a sealed reservoir 19 in which medical oxygen is stored. The reservoir is accommodated in the piercing device 10a, 10b or an oxygen unit 12 of the central control unit. As soon as the monitoring device 9 detects a respiratory arrest after a certain latency time, the user's trachea is punctured below the larynx via the semicircular perforation cannula 17 through the perforation device which is pneumatically moved by force. spring on

21/22 direction of arrow 20 from position 10a to position 10b.
Subsequently, an artificial respiration tube 21 having a diameter slightly smaller than the perforation cannula is pressed through a spring 23 and a plunger 24 through the cannula lumen approximately 10 cm endotracheally towards the lungs. . After the tube has been fully pressed forward, a cuff is filled with oxygen to seal the tube 21 from the trachea wall and thus prevent aspiration, for example, of vomiting. From oxygen reservoir 19, as indicated by arrow 22, approximately 8 liters of medical oxygen per minute is inflated to supply the minimal passive respiratory movements that occur during cardiac compression with oxygen. In the resting stages of compression, oxygen and / or oxygen-containing gas mixture is inflated by a pump, not shown, at a predetermined frequency in the form of individual artificial breathing movements.
A medical device 13 uses a sealed reservoir in which different emergency drugs (e.g. adrenaline) are present, separated from each other in the solution. Through a thin catheter, which in an emergency is automatically pressed through the lumen of the endotracheally located tube 21, approximately 20 cm into the trachea, drugs can be automatically delivered deep into the trachea to optimize mechanical resuscitation attempts. . The aspirated material can also be sucked through the catheter via a pump as a vacuum source and collected in a sealed container.
Oxygen and drug reservoirs, pumps and control and evaluation devices, as well as a power device 14, a GSM transmitter and receiver, a steering location device and a GPS positioning device 15 are combined into one another.
