METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING VENTILATIONS

摘要

Method and system for monitoring the ventilation of a patient, especially during chest compressions, comprising the steps of: essentially continuously measuring the impedance in the patients chest using at least two electrodes coupled to the patients chest, said impedance measurements being performed by applying an alternating current or voltage to at least two of said electrodes and measuring the impedance between at least two of said electrodes, measuring chosen parameters affecting said impedance measurements, e.g. chest compressions, and analyzing the impedance measurements for detection and characterizing of impedance variations from ventilations, said analysis including the removal of the effects said chosen parameters.
