The controller is configured to derive a score of sound change, heart rate change, thoracic impedance change, respiratory rate change, QRS wavelength change, QT interval change, electromechanical activation time change, and left ventricular systolic time change based on the measured cardiopulmonary parameters. The controller is further configured to control an operation of the system when the derived score is greater than a threshold.

Methods of Using an Inductive Damping Brain Sensor

Medical diagnostic devices and related methods of use are described in which one or multiple coils in a sensor, each coil connected with an RLC circuit and frequency counter, are held against a patient's head at predetermined cranial locations. Frequencies of the RLC circuit are measured and compared against those taken from known, control heads, to determine whether there is a medical problem and what type of problem. In some instances, too high of frequencies can reveal pooled blood in the head, a sign of hemorrhagic stroke, while too low of frequencies imply lack of blood supply, a sign of ischemic stroke. A head-mountable frame can assist a first responder in securing and guiding the coils and, along with fiducials, allow for automatic comparison of frequencies with the correct control data.
