1. A method for automatically delivering defibrillation shocks to a patient, comprising applying electrodes to the chest of the patient for delivering a defibrillation shock to the patient and for detecting an ECG signal;

  • using a sensor to detect when a rescuer is delivering a CPR chest compression to the patient;

    analyzing the ECG signal to determine if the cardiac rhythm is shockable (treatable by defibrillation therapy);

    analyzing the output of the sensor to determine when a CPR chest compression has been delivered, and integrating the ECG analysis and CPR detection so that the determination of whether the cardiac rhythm is shockable is based on time periods of the ECG signal during which there has not been a CPR chest compression delivered.
