Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A medical device of the type used for assisting a user in manually delivering repetitive therapy to a patient (e.g., chest compressions or ventilations in cardiac resuscitation), the device comprising a feedback device configured to generate feedback cues to assist the user in timing the delivery of the repetitive therapy, at least one sensor or circuit element configured to detect actual delivery times, at which the user actually delivers the repetitive therapy, and a processor, memory, and associated circuitry configured to compare the actual delivery times to information representative of desired delivery times to determine cue times at which the feedback cues are generated by the feedback device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A system for delivering a second repetitive therapy other than cardiac defibrillation while repetitive chest compressions are being manually delivered, comprising: a memory, processor, and associated circuitry for detecting the timing of the repetitive chest compressions, which are delivered manually, wherein the processor is configured to deliver the second repetitive therapy other than cardiac defibrillation at times that are synchronized to a selected phase of the repetitive chest compressions, and wherein the processor is configured to predict actual chest compression delivery times based on the user's past performance. 2 . The system of claim 1 wherein the second repetitive therapy comprises electromagnetic pacing stimuli. 3 . The system of claim 2 wherein the pacing stimuli are subthreshold and configured to improve tone of myocardium. 4 . The system of claim 2 wherein the pacing stimuli are above threshold and configured to produce cardiac contractions. 5 - 6 . (canceled) 7 . The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to use a tracking filter to predict the actual chest compression delivery times.
