CPR team performance
First Claim
1. A system for managing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment to a person in need of emergency assistance, the system comprising:
- an electronic patient monitor;
a sensor interface on the monitor arranged to receive input from one or more sensors;
a memory in the electronic patient monitor storing a plurality of signals providing prompts related to CPR;
a CPR monitor in the electronic patient monitor operatively connected to the memory and programmed to use the input from the one or more sensors to;
identify at least one of a depth of compression of chest compressions performed on the person in need of emergency assistance and a rate of compression of chest compressions performed on the person in need of emergency assistance, calculate an indication of rescuer fatigue based at least in part on at least one of the depth of compression and the rate of compression, andgenerate, from the plurality of signals providing prompts related to CPR stored in the memory, a signal to provide a prompt to switch rescuers performing CPR when the indication of rescuer fatigue meets a determined criterion; and
an output interface in communication with the CPR monitor and arranged to provide rescuers using the electronic patient monitor with the prompt to switch rescuers in response to receiving the generated signal from the CPR monitor.

Abstract
Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. A method for managing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment to a person in need of emergency assistance includes monitoring, with an electronic medical device, a parameter that indicates a quality level of a CPR component being provided to the person by a user; determining, with the electronic medical device, that the parameter indicates that the quality level of CPR being provided is inadequate; and providing, to one or more rescuers of the person, an audible, visual, or tactile indication that a different person should perform the CPR component.
