CPR COACHING DEVICE HAVING INTERNAL SENSOR FOR SENSING A PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC

摘要

A CPR caching device including a sensor for sensing a physiological characteristic of a patient. The physiological sensor is positioned between an upper portion configured for placement of at least one of the rescuer' s hands for delivery of chest compression force to the patient and a lower portion configured to be placed against the patient's chest. The position of the physiological sensor takes advantage of the placement of the CPR coaching device on the patient' s chest during administration of CPR to sense a physiological characteristic, such as cardiac circulation.
