Method and device for detecting an anomaly in the cardiac activity of a patient
First Claim
1. A method for detecting an anomaly in the cardiac activity of a patient wherein at least one sensor (12) determines at least one parameter that characterizes the cardiac activity of a patient, an automatic evaluation with respect with respect to at least one parameter that characterizes the anomaly in the cardiac activity is carried out, and in that an alarm signal is generated if a limiting value for at least one parameter that characterizes the anomaly in the cardiac activity is exceeded.

Abstract
The method and the device serve for detecting an anomaly in the cardiac activity of a patient and for carrying out a defibrillation. At least one sensor acquires at least one parameter that characterizes the cardiac activity of a patient. An automatic evaluation with respect to at least one parameter that characterizes the anomaly in the cardiac activity is carried out, and an alarm signal is generated if a limiting value for at least one parameter that characterizes the anomaly is exceeded. The defibrillator is realized in the form of a mobile unit and contains a voltage generator, a control unit and at least two electrodes.
