Abstract
An external defibrillator includes therapy delivery circuitry configured to discharge electrotherapy to a patient, a chest compression sensor configured to acquire motion signals during and after administration of CPR to the patient, an ECG sensor configured to acquire ECG signals from the patient, and a processor coupled to the therapy delivery circuitry, the chest compression sensor, and the ECG sensor. The processor is configured to generate first ECG data from ECG signals acquired during a cycle of CPR, generate second ECG data from ECG signals acquired after the cycle of CPR, identify a plurality of temporally overlapping segments in the first ECG data, determine shock/no-shock guidance based on the plurality of temporally overlapping segments, confirm the shock/no-shock guidance based on the second ECG data, and control the therapy delivery circuitry to discharge the electrotherapy where the shock/no-shock guidance is confirmed to specify electrotherapy.
