1. A method for treating a heart disorder comprising:
- measuring electrical activity of a patient'"'"'s heart;
processing the measured electrical activity to determine a value descriptive of ventricular fibrillation;
comparing the value to a threshold;
producing an output according to the comparison of the value to the threshold, the output instructing a rescuer to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation with or without ventilation.

Abstract
A defibrillation system and method for treating a heart disorder that includes measuring electrical activity of a patient'"'"'s heart and processing the measured electrical activity to determine a value descriptive of ventricular fibrillation. The value is compared to a threshold, and according to the comparison of the value to the threshold, an output communicating to the rescuer whether to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation with or without ventilation is generated.

10. A defibrillator comprising
a pair of electrodes configured to detect electrical signals from a patient; -
a user interface configured to provide instructions to a rescuer in accordance with interface control signals; a controller electrically coupled to the electrodes and user interface, the controller operable to process electrical signals from the pair of electrodes and determine a value descriptive of ventricular fibrillation, the controller further operable to compare the value, and in accordance to the comparison of the value to the threshold, generate interface control signals to control the user interface to communicate instructions to a rescuer to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation with or without ventilation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
