The present disclosure generally relates to a resuscitation of a patient. The present disclosure particularly related to a coordination of by the rescuer(s) and/or the device(s) during a resuscitation of a patient (e.g., cardiopulmonary resuscitation, basic life support and advanced life support).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is lifesaving intervention that is provided when a patient is in cardiac arrest (e.g., with no or ineffective mechanical activity of the patient’s heart) and primarily consists of chest compressions often combined with ventilation and the administration of medication. A quality of CPR is dependent on various factors including maintaining an adequate compression rate and compression depth and avoiding excessive ventilation.
Basic life support (BLS) is a level of medical care for a patient with life-threatening cardiac arrest, respiratory distress and/or an obstructed airway, and primarily consists of CPR and defibrillation as needed. A quality of BLS is dependent on various factors including a proper timing of any application of defibrillation to the patient during an application of CPR to the patient.
Advanced life support (ALS) may consist of BLS with an intravenous therapy of fluids and, medications delivered to the patient during CPR. A quality of ALS is dependent on various factors including a monitoring of the effects of the intravenous therapy on the application of the CPR to the patient.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
