1. A medical system for providing electromagnetic stimulation of a patient, comprising:
- an electronic interface configured to receive data from one or more sensors; and
a processor arranged to detect administration of chest compressions by a mechanical chest compressor based on the received data and cause circuitry configured for delivery of electromagnetic stimulation to stimulate blood flow in the patient to cease delivery of the electromagnetic stimulation upon detection of the administration of chest compressions by the mechanical chest compressor.

19. A method comprising:
-
detecting an absence of chest compressions for a period of time greater than a threshold; causing delivery of electromagnetic stimulation to stimulate blood flow in a patient upon detection of the absence of chest compressions; subsequent to causing the delivery of the electromagnetic stimulation, detecting the presence of chest compressions by a mechanical chest compressor; and causing delivery of electromagnetic stimulation to cease upon detection of the presence of the chest compressions by the mechanical chest compressor. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A medical system for providing electromagnetic stimulation of a patient, comprising;
-
an electronic interface in electrical communication with a first set of electrodes configured to initiate blood flow based on a cardiac pump mechanism and a second of electrodes configured to initiate blood flow based on a thoracic pump mechanism; and a controller in communication with the electronic interface and programmed alternate delivery of electrical energy from the first set of electrodes and the second set of electrodes. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33)

92. A method for providing controlled shock to victims of heart problems, the external defibrillator comprising:
-
receiving data generated by the a sensor positioned to determine a location of a rescuer'"'"'s hands relative to the patient; and calibrating the proximity sensor by analyzing data from the proximity sensor received during a time period corresponding to delivery manual administration of chest compressions by a rescuer and providing a signal via an interface to cause an electrical storage device to deliver a defibrillating shock to the patient based at least in part on data from the proximity sensor. - View Dependent Claims (93, 94, 95, 96, 97)
