1. A method for monitoring patient activity using an external defibrillator, the method comprising:
- obtaining data regarding chest compressions performed on the patient;
determining values for depth and rate of a plurality of the chest compressions;
during the presence of chest compressions, displaying on a first portion of a graphical display screen of the defibrillator information associated with the administration of the chest compressions including a visual indicia of compression depth relative to a target depth on a per-compression basis and an icon adjacent the indicia that indicates whether the chest compressions are being performed at an acceptable depth and rate based on the determined values for depth and rate;
detecting the absence of chest compressions; and
upon detecting the absence of chest compressions, replacing, and not displaying, the information associated with the administration of the chest compressions that is displayed on the first portion of the graphical display screen of the defibrillator with an idle time timer that is displayed on the first portion of the graphical display screen.

18. An external defibrillator, comprising:
-
one or more sensors arranged to contact a patient and obtain measurements regarding chest compressions performed on the patient; a video display screen for displaying graphical representations regarding status of the patient and the defibrillator to a rescuer; a memory that stores computer instructions; and a processor connected to the memory that stores computer instructions for; determining values of depth and rate of chest compressions performed on the patient and sensed by the sensors, and causing the video display screen to display information associated with the administration of the chest compressions including a visual indicia of compression depth relative to a target depth on a per-compression basis and an icon adjacent the indicia that indicates whether the chest compressions are being performed at an acceptable depth and rate based on the determined values for depth and rate during the presence of chest compressions; detecting the absence of chest compressions; and upon detecting the absence of chest compressions, replacing, and not displaying, the information associated with the administration of the chest compressions that is displayed on the graphical display screen of the defibrillator with an idle time timer that is displayed on the first portion of the graphical display screen. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. An external defibrillator, comprising:
-
one or more sensors arranged to contact a patient and obtain measurements regarding chest compressions performed on the patient; a video display screen for displaying graphical representations regarding status of the patient and the defibrillator to a rescuer; and means for determining values of depth and rate of the chest compressions and for causing the video display screen to display information associated with the administration of the chest compressions including a visual indicia of compression depth relative to a target depth on a per-compression basis in response to receiving data from the one or more sensors that indicates the depth and rate of the chest compressions, and for displaying an icon adjacent the indicia that indicates whether the chest compressions are being performed at an acceptable depth and rate based on the determined values for depth and rate; and
, upon detecting the absence of chest compressions, replacing, and not displaying, the information associated with the administration of the chest compressions that is displayed on the first portion of the graphical display screen of the defibrillator with an idle time timer that is displayed on the first portion of the graphical display screen.
