一种内有特殊衬垫的床垫可有助于更快更有效的心脏复苏(CPR)，从而提供更好的急症护理。
密歇根技术大学(Houghton, USA; www.mtu.edu)的研究人员开发的CPRMattress，是一种内有特殊衬垫的床垫，解决了标准医院床垫上进行CPR长期以来存在的关键问题。标准床垫内含15厘米或更厚的泡沫，柔软易弯曲；当进行CPR向下用力时，没有相互支撑力，直接用的力在床垫里消散，不会施加到躺在床垫上的病人身上。为了解决这个问题，新的床垫内衬垫提供了一种简单的解决方案：按下一个按钮，柔软泡沫里的空气就会被吸出，使其变得更坚硬些。由于床垫衬垫在真空开始后立即缩小，所以当床垫缩小时仅需一人就可开始胸部按压。而且，由于床垫只有上半部份缩小，所以它会自动使胸部和头部降低到比腿还低的位置，升高了到心脏的血容量，加快了到大脑的血流量。床垫及内衬垫是CPRMattress (Hancock, MI, USA; www.cprmattress.com)的产品。
在一项每隔一段时间就进行各种压力测试的研究中，研究人员发现，当测量人体模型所受按压力时，标准床垫只能将43%的CPR负荷传到心脏上；床垫下有板的话（目前常见的实际情况），有效率升高到52%；有了新型衬垫，81%的按压负荷可到达心脏。而且新型设计在10秒内达到并且超过床头板的按压效率。描述该新型床垫衬垫的研究发表在2009年6月的《重症监护医学杂志》上。
"我认为这可能会有难以置信的功用。它可不是一件昂贵的仪器，结构上也不复杂"，Portage 健康医院(Hancock, MI, USA; www.portagehealth.org)心脏复苏主任Jim Spence说。衬垫就是在这家医院进行检测的。"后板也很简单，可以承受300磅（136公斤）的病人。有了这个，只需按下按钮。变化可能是很小的，不过当你进行CPR时，任何一点都会起作用。时间和血液是大脑的细胞"。
