Abstract
Technologies are disclosed herein for a low impedance detection system. The detection system includes an electrical insulation and an impedance measurement device. The impedance measurement device can be used to test the impedance of the system when the barrier is placed between the user of the barrier and a source of electrical power. In a defibrillation system, a rescuer can place the barrier over the patient. An electrical power source can deliver electrical shocks to the patient. The impedance measurement device can monitor impedances of the system across various frequencies to detect electrical conditions that might be harmful to the rescuer.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- measuring impedance across a component of a defibrillation system, wherein the defibrillation system includes an electrical insulation placed between a rescuer and a patient;
- detecting a low impedance condition;
- and
- activating an indicator in response to detecting a low impedance condition.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon that are executable by the processor and which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to
- measure impedance across a component of a defibrillation system, wherein the defibrillation system includes an electrical insulation placed between a rescuer and a patient;
- detect a low impedance condition;
- and
- activate an indicator in response to detecting a low impedance condition.
A defibrillation system comprising:
- an electrical insulation comprising a first pad in communication with a first lead of an electrical power source;
- and
- an impedance measurement device configured to measure impedance at a plurality of frequencies across one or more components of the defibrillation system.
