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.

A system for assisting a rescuer in providing resuscitative treatment to a victim is described. The system includes a motion sensor configured to generate motion sensor signals that are indicative of motion of the chest of the victim during chest compressions, an input device configured to receive user input indicative of a type of chest compressions, an output device, and a processor, a memory, and associated circuitry, the processor communicatively coupled to the motion sensor, the input device, and the output device and is configured to receive the motion sensor signals and the user input indicative of the type of chest compressions, determine chest compression feedback for the rescuer based on the motion sensor signals, and control the output device to selectively provide the chest compression feedback for the rescuer based at least in part on the type of chest compressions indicated by the user input.

A system for automatically expediting charting for an emergency medical services event includes databases with a pre-configured ePCR form including fillable fields and a first and a second ePCR template, the first and second templates specifying pre-determined values for first and second fillable field subsets and a computing device, configured to communicatively couple to the databases, that includes a user interface, a memory, and a processor configured to receive a request to generate an ePCR, access the pre-configured ePCR form, receive selections of the first and second ePCR templates, automatically populate at least portions of the fillable fields based on the templates by identifying non-overlapping fields and overlapping fields in the subsets of fillable fields, populating the non-overlapping fields with the pre-determined values, and populating the overlapping fields with the pre-determined values according to selection rules, and generate the ePCR based on the automatic population of the fillable fields.

An automated external defibrillator (210) for use during CPR comprising: a first electrode pad (370a) configured to obtain an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from an individual; a second electrode pad (370b) configured to obtain ECG signal from the individual, wherein the first and/or the second electrode pad comprises an electrode pad visual display (372) configured to be visible while providing CPR to the individual; a controller (310) configured to: (i) process an electrical and/or an accelerometer signal to determine a depth of one or more chest compressions during CPR; (ii) compare the determined depth of the chest compressions to a threshold depth; (ii) determine, based on the comparison, that the determined depth exceeds or falls below the threshold depth; and (iii) direct the electrode pad visual display to provide a depth indication to the user that the determined depth of the chest compressions exceeds or falls below the threshold depth.

In at least one example, a medical device is provided. The medical device includes at least one therapy electrode, at least one acoustic sensor, and at least one processor coupled with the at least one therapy electrode and the at least one acoustic sensor. The at least one processor is configured to deliver at least one pacing pulse via the at least one therapy electrode and to analyze processed acoustic data to determine whether the at least one pacing pulse resulted in capture.

An example method is performed by a current defibrillator and includes determining that a memory embedded within a therapy cable coupled to the current defibrillator stores data indicative of a previous shock delivered to a patient, the previous being delivered using a previous defibrillator. The method also includes obtaining the data indicative of the previous shock, and setting an energy level for a subsequent shock based on the data indicative of the previous shock. The method further includes delivering the subsequent shock to the patient at the energy level for the subsequent shock.

A patient support system with chest compression system and harness assembly with sensor system. The harness assembly secures shoulders and hips of the patient on a patient support surface during transport. A chest compression system is integrated into the harness assembly in a manner that provides chest compressions to the patient while the patient is secured on the patient support surface. The tension of the harness assembly is selectively adjusted and/or a fluid bladder may be selectively expanded. A controller is in communication with the chest compression system and controls operation of the chest compression system. The sensor system is integrated into the harness assembly and in communication with the controller. The chest compression system may be removable from the harness assembly via an adapter. The chest compression system may be integrated into the patient support apparatus to secure the patient to the patient support surface while providing chest compressions.

A resuscitation device includes a first resuscitation unit configured to perform a first resuscitation function and having front and back sides. A second resuscitation unit is configured to perform a second resuscitation function, which is different from the first resuscitation function, and includes front and rear sides. The first and second resuscitation units are configured so as to be assembled together as a single assembly such that the first and second resuscitation units can be carried conjointly for selectively performing at least one of the first and second functions. An adaptor is also provided for connecting a defibrillator to a plurality of different electrode pads.
