    Abstract: A feedback device for an acute care provider includes: at least one motion sensor; a haptic output component for providing feedback having a varying haptic pattern to the acute care provider regarding performance of a resuscitation activity; and a controller. The controller can be configured to receive and process a signal representative of performance of the resuscitation activity from the at least one motion sensor, compare the acute care provider's performance of the resuscitation activity to a target performance of the resuscitation activity, and cause the haptic output component to provide haptic feedback to the acute care provider by changing the haptic pattern based, at least in part, on the signal from the at least one motion sensor and the comparison of the acute care provider's performance to the target performance of the resuscitation activity. The device can be adapted to be wrist-worn by the acute care provider.

    Abstract: A system for assisting with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes an active compression decompression (ACD) device configured for a user to push downward and pull upward on a chest of a patient, a sensor to measure force applied to the chest of the patient, a sensor configured to measure displacement of the chest of the patient, one or more processors, and a user interface. The processor is configured to configured to execute computer-executable instructions to determine a maximum compression force applied to the chest of the patient during a compression cycle and a maximum decompression force applied to the chest of the patient during the compression cycle, estimate a displacement value for a total displacement of the chest of the patient during the compression cycle for compressing and decompressing the chest of the patient, and estimate at least one of a compression depth and a decompression displacement for the compression cycle.

    Abstract: This document describes an automated external defibrillator comprising a control configured to switch between a pediatric operating mode and an adult operating mode, wherein each operating mode comprises a mode-specific energy configuration and a mode-specific user configuration; an indicator configured to provide an indication of the operating mode in use during a resuscitation process; one or more processors configured to switch to the mode-specific energy configuration and the mode-specific user configuration upon a change of operating mode between the pediatric operating mode and the adult operating mode such that the automated external defibrillator delivers a defibrillating shock to a patient based on the mode-specific energy configuration; and an interface of the automated external defibrillator provides resuscitation instructions to a user based on the mode-specific user configuration.

    Abstract: A system for assisting a rescuer in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient includes: a proximity sensor configured to be positioned at a location corresponding to a location of a rescuer's hand when delivering compressions to a patient's chest, the proximity sensor configured to produce a signal indicative of the rescuer's hands being released from the patient's chest; a medical device operatively coupled with the proximity sensor and configured to provide resuscitative treatment to the patient; and a controller communicatively coupled with the medical device and the proximity sensor. The controller is configured to: determine, based upon the signal from the proximity sensor, if the rescuer's hands have been released from the patient's chest, and trigger an action by the medical device in response to a determination that the rescuer's hands have been released from the patient's chest.

    Abstract: This document presents a system for managing treatment for an emergency cardiac event. The system includes memory, one or more electronic ports for receiving ECG signals, and a treatment module executable on one or more processing devices. The module is configured to perform a number of transformation on portions of an ECG signal into frequency domain data, obtain one or more previous values derived from one or more time segments of the ECG, and determine, based on the frequency domain data a first value and a second value, determine a probability of therapeutic success. The module is further configured to cause one or more output devices to present an indication of the probability of therapeutic success.

    Abstract: A system for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance is provided. The system includes at least one camera configured to be mounted to a person in need of medical assistance. The system also includes an image processing device, which can be configured to receive images captured by the at least one camera and to process the images to generate a representation of a rescue scene surrounding the person. The system further includes an analysis device. The analysis device can be configured to determine a characteristic associated with a resuscitation activity based on analysis of the representation of the rescue scene generated by the image processing device. A computer-implemented method for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance is also provided.

    Abstract: A ventilation monitoring system for assisting in proper placement of an endotracheal tube in a subject includes: a capnography sensor configured to be placed in fluid communication with the endotracheal tube and to provide information representative of the subject's breath; and a processor in communication with the capnography sensor. The processor is configured to provide an indication of proper endotracheal tube placement when (1) a first indication of the subject's breath and a positive result of a first auscultation are identified within a first predetermined time period, and (2) a second indication of the subject's breath and a positive result of a second auscultation are identified within a second predetermined time period. The first auscultation includes auscultation of a subject's left lung, right lung, left axillary region, right axillary region, or abdomen. The second auscultation includes auscultation of another region of the subject different from the first auscultation.
