Automated external defibrillator operator interface

摘要: A portable automated external defibrillator (AED) configured for use with a packaged pair of electrodes the type electrically coupled to one another within package and having lead wires extending from an electrical connector on ends wires. The AED includes case electrode compartment hold electrodes, openable lid enclosing compartment. Electrode terminals interconnection speaker LED display are positioned An operator-actuated rescue switch outside case. high voltage circuit generates defibrillation pulses applies terminals. operation is controlled by digital control system. Rescue mode initiated when opened. system then voice prompts and/or visual displays informing operator: 1) not properly connected terminals, 2) place patient, 3) 4) patient's cardiac rhythm being analyzed, 5) nonshockable identified, 6) charged, 7) shockable identified can be actuated.
