Coordinated Resuscitation Perfusion Support

A wearable defibrillator comprising:

• one or more therapy pads configured to deliver defibrillation therapy to a patient;
• at least one sensor configured to detect a cardiac activity of the patient;
• a set of electrodes positioned to stimulate sternocostal inhalation of the patient, the set of electrodes comprising:
• at least one anodal electrode;
• at least one first cathodal electrode configured to be located above a first set of muscles, which attach to some portion of the patient's ribs;
• and
• at least one second cathodal electrode configured to be located above a second set of muscles;
• a wearable harness for securing the electrodes, therapy pads, and/or the at least one sensor to the patient;
• and
• a controller programmed to:
• cause the anodal electrode and the first cathodal electrode to electrically stimulate the first set of muscles,
• cause the anodal electrode and the second cathodal electrode to electrically stimulate the second set of muscles, thereby causing contraction of the second set of muscles resulting in an opposing motion of a spine of the patient, and
• cause delivery of the defibrillation therapy to the patient based, at least in part, on a signal received from the at least one sensor.
