A medical device for measuring an impedance of a patient or mammal when a current is applied by electrodes. The medical device includes an output that transmits a drive signal to a set of drive electrodes coupled to a patient and an input that receives a sense signal generated by a set of sensing electrodes coupled to the patient. A processor determines the impedance of the patient based on the drive signal transmitted to the set of drive electrodes and the sense signal received by the set of sensing electrodes.

Low noise measurement of impedance of a patient

Examples of the disclosure are directed to adjustable back plates or backboards for a mechanical compression device to accommodate different patient sizes and/or for ease of storage. Examples of the disclosure includes back plates that can be folded, pieced together, or otherwise have a variable distance between connectors that attach to legs of a chest compression device. Examples also include back plates which may have two sides, such as an adult patient side and a pediatric patient side, to accommodate different patient sizes.

Adjustable back plate for mechanical compression device

An example method is performed by a defibrillator that includes a therapy cable receptacle and an electrocardiogram cable receptacle. The method includes displaying a user interface screen that includes a primary channel for displaying a primary waveform and a secondary channel for displaying secondary data. The method also includes detecting a lack of a patient connection for therapy pads and detecting a patient connection for an ECG lead obtained using an ECG electrode cable. In addition, the method includes displaying a representation of an ECG signal obtained using the ECG electrode cable in the primary channel based on detecting the lack of the patient connection for the therapy pads and detecting the patient connection for the ECG lead.

Automatic lead switching

A defibrillation device for administering an electrotherapy, such as a dual-sequential defibrillation (DSD) electrotherapy. The defibrillation device can include a defibrillation therapy module, a physiological parameter module and a control module. The defibrillation therapy module can output one or more energies and the physiological parameter module can receive one or more physiological parameters, including electrocardiogram (ECG) data. The control module can analyze the physiological parameters to determine an indication for the administration of an electrotherapy and can determine a DSD electrotherapy. The DSD electrotherapy can be based at least in part on the physiological parameters, the indication for the administration of an electrotherapy or a review of the ECG data.
