1. A remote, telephonic, cardiac resuscitation apparatus comprising a portable, patient-operatable portion and a remote physician-operatable portion;
- said patient operatable portion comprising;
(a) an acoustic telephone coupler;
(b) means associated with said coupler for treating said patient in response to coded tones received through said coupler;
(c) means for sensing a plurality of types of physiologic data indicating the cardiologic condition of said patient and for coding said data as a coded tone; and
(d) means responsive to a coded tone received from said acoustic coupler for selectively transmitting no more than one type of said coded data to said audio coupler.
