External defibrillator with augmented/virtual reality training

An external rescue/training defibrillator, comprising:

• a defibrillation shock module configured to deliver a defibrillation shock;
• and
• a defibrillation rescue/training controller operable to set the external rescue/training defibrillator in a rescue operation mode for executing a defibrillation treatment for a cardiac emergency or in a training operation mode for simulating the defibrillation treatment for the cardiac emergency,
• wherein, when the external rescue/training defibrillator is set in the rescue operation mode, the defibrillation rescue/training controller is configured to control an execution of the defibrillation treatment for the cardiac emergency including a conditional shock delivery by the shock defibrillation module,
• wherein, when the external rescue/training defibrillator is set in the training operation mode and when the external rescue/training defibrillator is in electrical communication with an augmented defibrillator trainer, the defibrillation rescue/training controller is configured to control a digital simulation of the defibrillation treatment of the cardiac emergency by the augmented defibrillator trainer or the virtual defibrillator trainer, and
• wherein, when the external rescue/training defibrillator is set in the training operation mode and when the external rescue/training defibrillator is in electrical communication with a virtual defibrillator trainer, the defibrillation rescue/training controller is configured to control a digital simulation of the defibrillation treatment of the cardiac emergency by the virtual defibrillator trainer.

An external defibrillation rescue/training method executable by an external rescue/training defibrillator operable between a rescue operation mode for executing a defibrillation treatment for a cardiac emergency and a training operation mode for simulating the defibrillation treatment for the cardiac emergency, the external defibrillation rescue/training method comprising:

• executing, by the external rescue/training defibrillator when the external rescue/training defibrillator is set in the rescue operation mode, the defibrillation treatment for the cardiac emergency including a conditional shock delivery;
• controlling, by the external rescue/training defibrillator when the external rescue/training defibrillator is set in the training operation mode when the external rescue/training defibrillator is in electrical communication with an augmented defibrillator trainer, a digital simulation of the defibrillation treatment of the cardiac emergency by the augmented defibrillator trainer or the virtual defibrillator trainer;
• and
• controlling, by the external rescue/training defibrillator when the external rescue/training defibrillator is set in the training operation mode when the external rescue/training defibrillator is in electrical communication with a virtual defibrillator trainer, a digital simulation of the defibrillation treatment of the cardiac emergency by the virtual defibrillator trainer.
