Claims26
1-20. (canceled)
A method for delivering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) chest compressions to a patient by a rescuer, the method comprising:
- positioning an anterior segment of a wrap-around structure comprising a first motion sensor on the sternum of the patient, the first motion sensor configured to generate a first motion signal;
- positioning a posterior segment of the wrap-around structure comprising a second motion sensor on the back of the patient, the second motion sensor configured to generate a second motion signal;
- providing chest compressions to the patient such that the first motion sensor moves in fixed relation with the sternum of the patient and the second motion sensor moves in fixed relation with the back of the patient during the chest compressions;
- and
- allowing for active decompression of the chest by the wrap-around structure after each chest compression.
