An automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACPR) device includes a compression element for acting on a compression location on a chest of a patient, and an optical alignment aid configured and arranged for projecting, at least temporarily, a light pattern on the patient's chest. The light pattern projected by the optical alignment aid guides the user during the placement procedure of the ACPR device. The light pattern projected by the optical alignment aid allows the user to monitor whether the position of the automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation device has moved during the administration of CPR.
