a compression sensor disposed in the housing and configured to generate one or more signals indicative of one or more chest compression parameters; and
two or more buttons disposed on the housing, the two or more buttons comprising at least one button associated with ventilation and at least one button associated with the one or more chest compression parameters, wherein at least one of the two or more buttons comprises an airway button and further wherein actuation of the at least one button associated with ventilation changes resuscitation information provided for the rescuer.

Abstract
An example of a resuscitation system is that includes at least two defibrillation electrodes configured to be applied to the exterior of the chest of a patient for delivering a defibrillation shock, a source of one or more ECG signals from the patient, a defibrillation circuit for delivering a defibrillation shock to the defibrillation electrodes, a control box that receives and processes the ECG signals to determine whether a defibrillation shock should be delivered or whether CPR should be performed, and that issues instructions to the user either to deliver a defibrillation shock or to perform CPR, wherein the determination of whether CPR should be performed and the instructions to perform CPR can occur at substantially any point during a rescue.
