Abstract
A system for assisting a rescuer includes: a chest compression sensor configured to sense movement of the patient's chest and a second sensor configured to sense information indicative of whether the rescuer's hand is in contact with or is not in contact with the patient's chest. The second sensor is configured to be positioned on the patient's chest at a location corresponding to a location of the rescuer's hand when delivering chest compressions to the patient's chest. The system also includes a feedback device and a computing unit. The computing unit is configured to cause the feedback device to provide chest compression feedback based on a determined chest compression rate and chest compression depth and to provide chest release feedback based on a determination of whether the rescuer is releasing the chest in between chest compressions.
