Defibrillator electrode illumination for guidance

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure encompass a light indicator controller for indicating a functioning status of a defibrillation unit including a defibrillator, electrodes each having an electrode light indicator and a cable having cable light indicators. In operation, the light indicator controller ascertains a functioning status of the defibrillation unit and controls an illumination of the electrode light indicators and the cable light indicators based on an operational mode of the defibrillator. The illumination of the indicators may represent a standby/startup of the defibrillation unit, an application of the electrodes to a patient, a heart rhythm analysis period or shock delivery being executed by the defibrillator or an intervention/CPR task being executed by the defibrillator.
