Synchronization of repetitive therapeutic interventions
First Claim
1. A medical device of the type used for assisting a user in manually delivering repetitive therapy to a patient, the device comprisinga 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.

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.

33. A medical device of the type used for assisting a user in manually delivering repetitive therapy to a patient, the device comprising
a feedback device configured to generate feedback cues to assist the user in timing the delivery of the repetitive therapy; -
wherein the repetitive therapy comprises psychomotor activity on the part of the user delivering the therapy; and a processor, memory, and associated circuitry configured to generate feedback cues with at least two phases, a first phase corresponding to a first phase of the psychomotor activity and a second phase corresponding to a second phase of the psychomotor activity. - View Dependent Claims (34)

35. A medical device for assisting a user in manually delivering chest compressions to a patient as part of cardiac resuscitation, the device comprising
a feedback device configured to generate feedback cues to assist the user in timing the delivery of the chest compressions; -
a processor, memory, and associated circuitry configured to determine cue times at which the feedback cues are generated by the feedback device, wherein the feedback cues have at least two phases distinguishable by the user, with a first phase corresponding to an upstroke phase of the rescuer'"'"'s movement, and a second phase of the feedback cue corresponding to a downstroke of the rescuer'"'"'s compression movement. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42)
