摘要: A portable, interactive medical electronic device exemplified by a defibrillator. The obtains information about patient's condition, such as ECG and transthoracic impedance data, directly from the patient, pertinent to treatment of patient indirectly through an operator device, produces medically appropriate action defibrillation shock in response. Indirect is obtained processing means that includes for prompting receiving operator's responses thereto. Prompts may include both questions instructions, one embodiment assent before causing shock. whether conscious, or not cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been performed. data be collected common pair electrodes. In indication invalid if indicates excessive motion on part patient. When determined appropriate, control signal produced causes charging energy storage subsequent discharging without further intervention. also tape recorder allowing later analysis use holding drive disengaged position until opened use. testing enabling person test condition opening case which it enclosed, producing recording distinctive sound when pulse delivered, electrodes quickly disconnected so emergency personnel can conveniently with their own equipment.
