<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the usability of a defibrillation system. <P>SOLUTION: A compression-sensing element such as an accelerometer or a force-sensing element, is electrically connected to a resuscitation control system. A plurality of manually operable controls (20) are mechanically interconnected with first and second electrodes (12, 14) and a CPR pad (18) and electrically connected to a resuscitation control system (26), which provides resuscitation prompts to a rescuer based on use of the manually operable control (20) by the rescuer. A second control (30) is positioned on the resuscitation control system (26) that can be operated by a rescuer to indicate the patient that the application of a defibrillation shock is ready. A pulse detection system (52) detects whether the patient has a pulse when the substrate is in contact with the patient. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
