<p>A system for measuring and analysing CPR parameters for use with and by an external defibrillator (1), where a pressure sensitive electrode (4) is connected to a defibrillator (1), in addition to the standard electrodes (3) of the defibrillator (1). The information from the pressure sensitive electrode, together with information derived from changes of the impedance of the thorax, measured by the defibrillator, describes the quality of the CPR performed, and is used to generate voice messages that increase the quality and the effectiveness of the CPR. The defibrillator (1) may in addition be equipped with a transmission device that sets up a radio connection with an emergency centre via a modem, a GSM telephone or similar, when the defibrillator (1) is activated. The emergency centre is equipped with a display unit (10) that shows the activities at the resuscitation site. A speech connection maybe set up via a microphone (16) and a speaker (15) on the resuscitation site and a microphone and auditory unit (9) at the emergency centre, in order to allow an operator at the emergency centre to intervene and direct the attempt at resuscitation during the critical phases following the electrical shocks. <IMAGE></p> |
