Real-time evaluation of CPR performance
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing summary information for lifesaving activities, the method comprisingsensing one or more activities that are repeatedly and cyclically performed on a victim by a rescuer;
- identifying a cyclical timing interval over which performance is to be analyzed for a integer number of cycles of the one or more activities, and gathering data from the sensing of the one or more activities during the time interval;
generating, from analysis of the one or more activities, summary data that condenses data sensed for the one or more activities into a summary of the one or more activities, wherein the summary data identifies both rate and amplitude information that reflect a rate and amplitude at which the rescuer performed at least one of the activities; and
providing, for display to a user, a visual summary of the performance of the one or more activities over the identified time interval, the visual summary of the performance indicating a quality of performance of the at least one of the activities based on a combination of the rate and amplitude information that reflect a rate and amplitude at which the rescuer performed at least one of the activities.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing summary information for lifesaving activities is disclosed. The method involves sensing one or more activities that are repeatedly and cyclically performed on a victim by a rescuer; identifying a cyclical timing interval over which performance is to be analyzed for a integer number of cycles of the one or more activities, and gathering data from the sensing of the one or more activities during the time interval; generating, from analysis of the one or more activities, summary data that condenses data sensed for the one or more activities into a summary of the one or more activities; and providing, for display to a user, a visual summary of the performance of the one or more activities over the identified time interval.

12. A computer-implemented system for providing summary information for lifesaving activities, the system comprising:
-
a patient monitor having an interface for receiving signals from one or more patient-connected sensors; a rescuer performance analysis system programmed using stored instructions to incorporate data representative of a plurality of activities performed on a patient by a rescuer in the form of primary indications, and to generate secondary indications of the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the patient from the data, wherein the primary indications correspond to both rate and amplitude information that reflect a rate and amplitude at which the rescuer has performed at least one of the activities, and at least some of the secondary indications correspond to a combination of the rate and amplitude information into a single indicator of performance; and one or more user interfaces to provide audible or visual indications of the generated secondary indications, the audible or visual indication indicating a quality of performance of the at least one of the plurality of activities based on a combination of the rate and amplitude information. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-implemented system for providing summary information for lifesaving activities, the system comprising:
-
a patient monitor having an interface for receiving signals from one or more patient-connected sensors; means for generating primary and secondary indications of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patent, the primary indications being direct representations of data measured from the patent, and the secondary indications being derived representations generated from one or more of the primary representations, wherein the primary indications correspond to both rate and amplitude information that reflect a rate and amplitude at which the rescuer performed at least one of the activities, and at least some of the secondary indications correspond to a combination of the rate and amplitude information into a single indicator of performance; and one or more user interfaces to provide audible or visual indications of the generated secondary indications, the audible or visual indication indicating a quality of performance of the at least one of the plurality of activities based on a combination of the rate and amplitude information. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

25. One or more computer-readable, non-nontransitory media having recorded thereon instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, perform operations comprising:
-
receiving data from one or more activities sensed as having been repeatedly and cyclically performed on a victim by a rescuer; identifying a cyclical timing interval over which performance is to be analyzed for a integer number of cycles of the one or more activities, and gathering data from the sensing of the one or more activities during the time interval; generating, from analysis of the one or more activities, summary data that condenses data sensed for the one or more activities into a summary of the one or more activities, wherein the summary data identifies both rate and amplitude information that reflect a rate and amplitude at which the rescuer performed at least one of the activities; and providing, for display to a user, a visual summary of the performance of the one or more activities over the identified time interval, the visual summary of the performance indicating a quality of performance of the at least one of the activities based on a combination of the rate and amplitude information that reflect a rate and amplitude at which the rescuer performed at least one of the activities. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
