1. A patient support system comprising:
a patient support apparatus comprising a patient support surface;
a harness assembly including a plurality of straps configured to secure the patient on the patient support surface during transport, wherein at least two of the plurality of straps are coupled to one another at a junction;
a sensor system integrated into the harness assembly to detect a suitable compression location on the patient;
a chest compression system operatively attached to the harness assembly, the chest compression system including:
a patient interface disposed on the junction, and
a tension adjustment system operatively coupled to the harness assembly, wherein the tension adjustment system comprises one or more actuators coupled to at least one of the plurality of straps; and
a controller in communication with the chest compression system and with the sensor system, the controller being configured to determine a current position of the patient interface relative to the suitable compression location based on signals received from the sensor system, operate the one or more actuators to move the patient interface to be within a predefined tolerance of the suitable compression location, and control operation of the one or more actuators to increase tension in at least one of the plurality of straps so as to urge the junction towards the patient to provide a chest compression to the patient.
