Dual sensor electrodes for providing enhanced resuscitation feedback
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating resuscitation, comprising:
- a resuscitation assembly comprising;
a first electrode assembly comprising a therapy side configured to sense ECG signals and deliver a therapeutic shock and a first motion sensor,a second electrode assembly comprising a therapy side configured to sense ECG signals and deliver a therapeutic shock and a second motion sensor and an identification component associated with the resuscitation assembly;
processing circuitry operatively connected to the resuscitation assembly and configured toidentify the resuscitation assembly as one of a pediatric or adult resuscitation assembly based on an identification signal produced by the identification component,receive and process signals from at least one of the first and second motion sensors to estimate at least one of a compression depth and rate during administration of chest compressions, andreceive and process ECG signals from the first and second electrode assemblies and deliver electrotherapy through the first and second electrode assemblies; and
an output device for providing one or more chest compression parameters including at least one of the estimated compression depth and the estimated compression rate for a user,wherein the output device is configured to adjust presentation of the one or more chest compression parameters based on whether the resuscitation assembly is identified as pediatric or adult, andwherein the processing circuitry is configured to compare at least one of the estimated compression depth and the estimated compression rate to a desired range, and the output device is configured to display at least one of the estimated compression depth and the estimated compression rate and provide chest compression prompting for the user when the resuscitation assembly is identified as adult and the output device is configured to display at least one of the estimated depth and the estimated rate without providing chest compression prompting for the user when the resuscitation assembly is identified as pediatric.

Abstract
A system for facilitating resuscitation includes: a first electrode assembly having a therapy side and a first motion sensor; a second electrode assembly having a therapy side and a second motion sensor; processing circuitry operatively connected to and programmed to receive and process signals from the first and second motion sensors to estimate at least one of a chest compression depth and rate during administration of chest compressions and to compare the chest compression depth or rate to a desired range; and an output device for providing instructions to a user to administer chest compressions based on the comparison of the estimated chest compression depth or rate to the desired range. One or both of the electrode assemblies may be constructed so that the conductive therapeutic portion is able to maintain substantial conformance to the anatomy of the patient when coupled thereto. For example, at least a portion of the flexible electrode pad may be able to flex from a more rigid sensor housing, or the sensor housing itself may be relatively small compared to the flexible electrode pad so as not to cause lift off of the therapeutic side from the patient.
