Abstract
Cardiac electrodes and techniques for testing application of the electrodes to a victim are described herein.
Claims18
A medical device comprising:
- an external electrode assembly comprising a pair of electrodes and a camera included in the external electrode assembly, the camera configured to acquire image information indicative of a location of at least one of the pair of electrodes relative to external features of the chest of a patient;
- a processor and a memory;
- at least one output device;
- and
- an electronic interface, communicatively coupled to the external electrode assembly, the processor, the memory, and the at least one output device, and configured to obtain the image information from the camera and provide signals representing the image information to the processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive the signals representing the image information,
- process the signals representing the image information,
- based on the processing of the signals representing the image information, determine electrode positioning feedback for a rescuer, and
- provide the electrode positioning feedback to the at least one output device,
- and wherein the at least one output device is configured to provide the electrode positioning feedback as an instruction to move the at least one of the pair of electrodes.
