1. A medical system, comprising:
- a manual patient ventilation unit defining an airflow path, the unit arranged so that when the unit is applied to a patient, the airflow path is in fluid communication with the patient'"'"'s airway, the patient ventilation unit comprising a ventilation bag configured to enable manual ventilation of the patient by a rescuer;
an airflow sensor in the airflow path positioned to sense the presence of ventilation airflow and measure a gas flow rate in the airflow path; and
a pressure sensor in the airflow path positioned to sense gas pressure in the airflow path;
a processor arranged to receive data generated by the airflow sensor and the pressure sensor and determine one or more ventilation quality parameters based at least in part on a gas flow volume calculated based on the sensed gas flow rate and gas pressures; and
a feedback unit to provide feedback to a rescuer based on the one or more ventilation quality parameters.

57. A medical system, comprising:
-
an airflow sensor in the airflow path positioned to sense the presence of ventilation airflow and measure gas flow rates in the airflow path of a conscious patient experiencing dyspnea; and a pressure sensor in the airflow path positioned to sense gas pressure in the airflow path of the conscious patient experiencing dyspnea; and a processor arranged to receive data generated by the airflow sensor and the pressure sensor and determine one or more ventilation quality parameters requiring gas flow volume for their calculation, the one or more ventilation quality parameters including spirometric measurements; and circuitry configured for delivery of electromagnetic stimulation to the patient; and a feedback unit configured to provide feedback to a rescuer based on the one or more ventilation quality parameters. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64)
