Shock determination based on prior shocks
First Claim
1. An external defibrillator system for managing care of a person receiving emergency cardiac assistance, the external defibrillator system comprising:
- one or more capacitors for delivering a defibrillating shock to the person;
one or more electronic ports for receiving signals from sensors for obtaining indications of an electrocardiogram (ECG) for the person;
a patient treatment module comprising one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable media comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the patient treatment module to carry out operations comprising;
determining a metric indicative of a likelihood of success from delivering a future defibrillating shock to the person with the one or more capacitors during a session of the emergency cardiac assistance, by using information about an indication of success associated with a prior defibrillating shock delivered during the session of the emergency cardiac assistance and a value that is a function of current ECG signals from the person; and
an output mechanism comprising a visual display that is configured to display one of multiple possible indications that each indicate a degree of the likelihood of success from delivering the future defibrillating shock with the one or more capacitors to the person.

Abstract
A system for managing care of a person receiving emergency cardiac assistance is disclosed that includes one or more capacitors for delivering a defibrillating shock to a patient; one or more electronic ports for receiving signals from sensors for obtaining indications of an electrocardiogram (ECG) for the patient; a patient treatment module executable on one or more computer processors to provide a determination of a likelihood of success from delivering a future defibrillating shock to the person with the one or more capacitors, using (a) information about a prior defibrillating shock, and (b) a value that is a function of current ECG signals from the patient.
