Automated resuscitation device with ventilation sensing and prompting

A device for assisting a caregiver in delivering cardiac resuscitation to a patient, the device comprising

• a user interface configured to deliver prompts to a caregiver to assist the caregiver in delivering cardiac resuscitation to a patient;
• at least one sensor configured to detect a caregiver's progress in delivering the cardiac resuscitation, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to provide a signal containing information indicative of chest compressions and chest rise due to lung inflation from ventilations;
• and
• a processor configured to perform operations comprising:
• processing the signal of the at least one sensor to distinguish based on a frequency of the signal between the chest compressions and the chest rise due to lung inflation from ventilations,
• generating a first indication that the ventilations are detected when the chest rise due to lung inflations is identified, and
• generating a second indication that the chest compressions are detected when the chest compressions are identified.
