Synchronization of Repetitive Therapeutic Interventions
First Claim
1. A cardiac resuscitation device of the type used for assisting a user in manually delivering repetitive chest compressions to a patient, the device comprisinga feedback device configured to generate non-verbal feedback cues to provide the user with feedback to assist the user with respect to at least one compression parameter;
- at least one sensor or circuit element configured to determine the user'"'"'s performance with respect to the compression parameter; and
a processor, memory, and associated circuitry configured to compare the user'"'"'s actual performance with respect to the compression parameter to a desired performance with respect to the compression parameter, and to determine non-verbal feedback cues to assist the user in achieving performance closer to the desired performance.

Abstract
A medical device of the type used for assisting a user in manually delivering repetitive therapy to a patient (e.g., chest compressions or ventilations in cardiac resuscitation), the device comprising a feedback device configured to generate feedback cues to assist the user in timing the delivery of the repetitive therapy, at least one sensor or circuit element configured to detect actual delivery times, at which the user actually delivers the repetitive therapy, and a processor, memory, and associated circuitry configured to compare the actual delivery times to information representative of desired delivery times to determine cue times at which the feedback cues are generated by the feedback device.
