摘      要：The alternative intervention method that should be applied in cases of cardiac arrest is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), which consists of effective chest compressions. Nowadays, chest compressions are performed in two different ways: Manually or using an automatic CPR device. Since manual chest compressions require an excessive amount of strength, cause fatigue in the provider even during the first minutes of CPR. Automatic CPR devices developed to provide more effective chest compressions also have not yet become widespread except in developed countries. In this study, it has been investigated whether CPR device chassis can be produced also with the presented thermoplastic materials instead of expensive materials such as carbon fiber or fiberglass used in existing devices. This study examined the problem of which thermoplastic material the chassis of the CPR device should be made of by the American Heart Association (AHA) standards and at a low cost under four main criteria (economic, manufacturability, sustainability, and structural features). The Intuitionistic Fuzzy (IF) TOPSIS, IF VIKOR, and IF CODAS methods, which are distance-based MCDM methods, have been used to solve this problem. According to the results obtained from the mentioned methods, it is seen that the most suitable material for the chassis of the CPR device should be Polycarbonate / Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Flame Retardant (PC/ABS FR). © 2022, The Authors.
