Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. A method for managing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment to a person in need of emergency assistance includes monitoring, with an electronic medical device, a parameter that indicates a quality level of a CPR component being provided to the person by a user; determining, with the electronic medical device, that the parameter indicates that the quality level of CPR being provided is inadequate; and providing, to one or more rescuers of the person, an audible, visual, or tactile indication that a different person should perform the CPR component.

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.

A system and method for providing a medical simulation device that utilizes open software platforms and provides functionality in both software and hardware modules is disclosed. The medical simulation system facilitates plug and play operation with installed hardware and software modules that are automatically recognized by the system for compatibility and the system configures itself according to identification information of the hardware module.

In a patient simulator in particular premature infant, newborn or infant simulator, comprising a thorax replication, which comprises a chest replication with at least one liftable and lowerable chest element for simulating a lifting and lowering of the thorax, abdominal wall mechanics, which comprise an abdominal wall replication with at least one liftable and lowerable abdominal wall element for simulating a lifting and lowering of the abdominal wall, a lung simulator, an anatomical trachea replication opening out into a cavity, an anatomical oesophagus replication opening out into a cavity and a control unit, the patient simulator includes at least one sensor whose sensor data is transmitted to the control unit to determine whether the ventilation gas supplied to the patient simulator is conducted into the trachea replication or into the oesophagus replication.

A system is disclosed that includes a breathing apparatus, a display unit and a processing unit that is operatively connected to the display unit. The processing unit is configured to provide a graphical visualization on the display unit. The graphical visualization in turn includes a combination of a target indication for at least one ventilation related parameter of a ventilation strategy for a patient ventilated by the apparatus, and a reciprocating animation of the at least one ventilation related parameter relative the target indication. The target indication is for instance based on input of a user, such as an operator of the breathing apparatus. Alternatively, or in addition, it may be a default value stored on a memory unit being operatively connected to the processing unit. Alternatively, or in addition, the target indication is based on a measurement value of said patient's physiology or anatomy. In this manner, the system informs clinicians in a clear and easily understandable way how a current patient ventilation is related to a chosen ventilation strategy.

A device for placing a lung in a variety of different inflation states using positive air pressure. An exemplary device includes a housing and an air supply component. The housing includes a platform receives at least one of a synthetic lung or a real lung. The platform is at the same air pressure as a surrounding environment. The air supply component is located within the one or more internal cavities of the housing. The air supply component inflates the synthetic lung or the real lung with positive pressure.

There is disclosed a simulation system for simulating a respiratory system. The simulation system includes a variable resistance device that provides a variable resistance to the airflow it receives to simulate a variation in resistance for the respiratory system during breathing and a variable elastance device that provides a variable elastance to the airflow it receives to simulate a variation in elastance for the respiratory system during breathing.

An Expiratory breathing simulator device is provided and configured to simulate a real patient's End Tidal CO.sub.2 (ETCO.sub.2). The device is configured to be used with a vital signs simulator to simulate a patient's behaviour on a medical monitoring apparatus, for example for training medical professionals.

In a patient simulator, in particular a premature baby, newborn or child simulator, including a simulated thorax, a pneumatic lung simulator and a simulated trachea leading to the lung simulator, wherein the simulated thorax includes a simulated chest including at least one liftable and lowerable chest element to simulate lifting and lowering of the chest, the at least one liftable and lowerable chest element cooperates with a lifting and lowering mechanism actuatable independently of the lung simulator.

In a simulator for emergency treatment training, a chest compression training module measures chest compression training information. An artificial, an artificial respiration training module measures respiration training information, an automated external defibrillator training module measures pad attachment training information, and a compression training module measures hemostatic compression training information. A control unit is installed in a trunk of a manikin and obtains pieces of training information from the chest compression training module, the artificial respiration training module, the automated external defibrillator training module, and the hemostatic compression training module. A monitoring apparatus is connected to the control unit in a wired or wireless manner, receives the pieces of the training information from the control unit, executes an evaluation program, generates an evaluation result, and displays the generated evaluation result on a screen.
