Abstract
An external defibrillator system is provided. The system includes: a graphical display; one or more sensors for obtaining data regarding chest compressions performed on a patient; and a controller configured to display on the graphical display numeric values for depth and/or rate of the chest compressions based upon the data from the one or more sensors. A method for using an external defibrillator including the steps of: obtaining data regarding chest compressions perforated on a patient; and displaying on a graphical display screen of the defibrillator numeric values for depth and/or rate of the chest compressions based upon the data is also provided.
Claims22
A medical system for assisting in administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a patient, the system comprising:
- a display;
- at least one chest compression sensor for obtaining data representative of chest compressions performed on the patient;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the display and with the at least one chest compression sensor, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive the data representative of the chest compressions performed on the patient from the at least one chest compression sensor,
- process the received data from the at least one chest compression sensor to detect a presence of chest compressions administered to the patient during a designated chest compression period,
- when the presence of chest compressions is detected, process the received data from the at least one chest compression sensor to determine depth and rate for the chest compressions being performed and cause the display to present on a portion of the display:
- (i) numerals having a resolution of at least a tenth for the determined depth of the chest compressions along with
- (ii) a shape with an amount of fill in the shape differing based upon the determined depth and the determined rate for the chest compressions being performed;
- process the received data from the at least one chest compression sensor to detect an absence of chest compressions administered to the patient during the designated chest compression period, and
- when the absence of chest compressions is detected, cause the display to remove the numerals for the determined depth from the display and cause a visual indication representative of an idle time since chest compressions ceased being administered to the patient during the designated chest compression period to be displayed on the portion of the display previously displaying the numerals for the determined depth.
