The system and method provide for electrocardiogram analysis and optimization of patient-customized cardiopulmonary resuscitation and therapy delivery. An external medical device includes a housing and a processor within the housing. The processor can be configured to receive an input signal for a patient receiving chest compressions and to select at least one filter mechanism and to apply the filter mechanism to the signal to at least substantially remove chest compression artifacts from the signal. A real time dynamic analysis of a cardiac rhythm is applied to adjust and integrate CPR prompting of a medical device. Real-time cardiac rhythm quality is facilitated using a rhythm assessment meter.

System and method for electrocardiogram analysis and optimization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and therapy delivery

Defibrillators with enhanced functionality during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) periods are described. The enhancements include predicting a length of a charging period of a capacitor of the medical device so that capacitor is shock charged at the end of the CPR period. The enhancements also include re-assessing an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal for continued presence of a shockable rhythm during the CPR period and before administration of a defibrillation shock. Together the enhancements can improve the timing and recommended administration of defibrillation therapy.

Defibrillators with enhanced functionality during cardiopulmonary resuscitation periods

Systems, devices, and methods provide up-to-date defibrillation shock recommendations. In an example method, multiple segments of an electrocardiogram (ECG) of an individual are detected from an individual receiving chest compressions. The multiple segments are evaluated to determine whether the individual is exhibiting a shockable heart rhythm. A medical device outputs a recommendation indicating whether a defibrillation shock is advised based on the most recent determination of the individual's heart rhythm. For example, the medical device outputs an up-to-date recommendation on-demand in response to an input signal from a user. In some examples, the medical device updates the recommendation based on ongoing analysis of the ECG.

Up-to-date defibrillation recommendations based on continuous ECG analysis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation

An accessory for a medical device, including an input configured to receive a signal from a signal source and one or more processors configured to: analyze the signal from the signal source, and determine one or more deterministic signals based on the analysis of the signal, the one or more deterministic signals configured to elicit a defined response from the medical device. The accessory also includes an output configured to transmit the one or more deterministic signals to the medical device. The accessory may be, for example, a device located in a therapy path of the medical device, a removable circuit board connected to the medical device, or connected to or a part of the signal source.

Accessory for analyzing patient signals during cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Technologies and implementations for a defibrillator electrode having communicative capabilities are generally disclosed.

Electrode assembly having various communicative solutions

An example system for monitoring and delivering therapy to a patient includes a monitor module with patient monitoring capability, and a manifold that is operable to provide an electrical connection between the monitor module and cables connecting to sensors for collecting physiologic monitoring data of a patient, and to provide a gas connection between the monitor module and tubing for delivering treatment to or collecting additional physiologic monitoring data from the patient. The manifold includes a connector for mechanically connecting the manifold to the monitor module, and the connector also for mechanically disconnecting the manifold from the monitor module while maintaining the cables and the tubing coupled to the patient. In some examples, the system can also include a cot including a second set of monitoring electronics with patient monitoring capability, the cot including a port for coupling with the connector of the manifold.

The present disclosure encompasses an 'artifact score' derived from the signal characteristics of an acquired 12-lead ECG, (2) a 'patient context score' derived from key elements of the patient's history, presentation, and pre-hospital emergency care, and (3) techniques for integrating these scores into an emergency medical care system.
