At the moment, there are no manufacturers of cardiopulmonary resuscitation complexes in Russia. In terms of importance, this equipment is a priority along with resuscitation complexes, life support systems and is included in the list of medical equipment that determines national sovereignty. The world's leading manufacturers JOLIFE AB (Sweden), Zoll (USA), Corpuls (Germany), Defibtech (USA), Schiller (Switzerland), Ambulanc (China) Landswick (China) offer many different options for the implementation of systems for automatic closed heart massage. The creation of a domestic complex for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, synchronized with an artificial lung ventilation device, is an urgent medical and technical task.

For the development of this direction, it is important to identify the most relevant technological and engineering solutions for the creation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation complexes and to determine the prospects for their further development.

The publication presents an analysis of a wide range of modern complexes and registered technical solutions for the implementation of various approaches to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automatic closed heart massage. As part of the engineering and technical study, it was found that the most promising are electromechanical complexes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A number of ergonomic and constructive solutions are proposed based on the results of the analysis of the application of existing foreign complexes. The formed technical proposals will significantly improve the consumer characteristics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation complexes.

Despite the fact that there are a significant number of commercial solutions for automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the market, their introduction into the clinical practice of emergency medical care is not great. One of the constraining factors is the high cost of foreign equipment, a significant mass of devices, ergonomic disadvantages that limit the use of equipment in real conditions (long installation time, difficulties of resuscitation during patient transportation, the absence of artificial lung ventilation devices in complexes with synchronization of the resuscitation mode). Therefore, the development and improvement of this type of equipment, as well as the creation of domestic analogues with superior technical characteristics, has significant practical value.
