Mechanical chest compression stair chairs are equipped with wheels, tracks and extendingdevices reduce fatigue, awkward positions, and tripping, slipping handles to aid first responders with moving a patient safelyor falling incidents during CPR. Furthermore, mechanical chest down a hallway, a set of stairs or even a few steps. The trackscompression devices increase personnel safety when prolonged allow responders to lower and move patients down stairsCPR is required during patient transport. without having to lift the patient, increasing safety for both first responders and the patient. The weight of the patient and the equipment is transferred through the tracks and onto the stairs, creating a braking force that controls the descent, improves ergonomics, and reduces strain, fatigue, and injuries (Lavender, 2007). Stair chairs equipped with tracks allow gliding on stairs, and adjustable handles help personnel stand more upright.
