Abstract
The invention provides systems and methods for ventilating a patient in association with cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures. In one exemplary embodiment, a system comprises a ventilator to periodically supply respiratory gases to a patient's lungs. A sensor is provided to detect chest compressions by sensing changes in intrathoracic pressure. A controller is coupled to the sensor and controls actuation of the ventilator after a predetermined number of chest compressions have been detected by the sensor.
