The CPR press board, also known as the cardiopulmonary resuscitation rescue board or cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulator first aid board, plays a vital role in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) process. Its role is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

One of its main functions is to provide stable support. During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the medical staff needs to apply continuous, strong pressure to the patient's chest to restore the effective pumping function of the heart. However, if there is no stable support below the patient's body, the effect of compression may be compromised. The design of the CPR press plate solves this problem by providing a firm, flat support surface to ensure that the force of the press is transmitted accurately and effectively to the patient's heart.

The design also takes into account the opening of the patient's airway. The cup-shaped design keeps the patient's head back just enough to improve airway flow. This is especially important for patients who need emergency intubation or tracheotomy, as it can provide more convenient operating conditions for healthcare personnel.

In the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, especially for patients with cervical spine injury, if the operation is not proper, it may cause secondary injury to the cervical spine. The CPR press plate is designed with this in mind, by keeping the patient's head tilted back in a way that avoids cervical injury caused by an open airway position. At the same time, the strong surface and non-slip weave of the press plate also prevent the patient from sliding during the press process, further reducing the risk of secondary injury.

To sum up, the CPR press plate plays an irreplaceable role in the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It not only provides stable support and keeps the airway open, but also avoids secondary injuries and is easy to carry and use. Therefore, in the field of medical emergency, the CPR press plate is widely used in various emergency situations of cardiopulmonary resuscitation rescue.
