Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A system for assisting a rescuer in providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to a victim, the system comprising:
at least one motion sensor configured to generate signals indicative of motion of the victim's chest during CPR chest compressions; and
a defibrillator coupled to the at least one motion sensor, the defibrillator comprising:
a display screen configured to provide defibrillation information and CPR chest compression feedback; and
a processor, a memory, and associated circuitry, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive the signals indicative of the motion of the chest,
generate a compression waveform based on the signals indicative of the motion of the chest,
detect, in the compression waveform, features characteristic of chest compressions,
compare the detected features to a predetermined criterion that distinguishes between manually delivered chest compressions and automated chest compressions delivered by an automated chest compression device, and
selectively provide the CPR chest compression feedback at the display screen based at least in part on whether the chest compressions are the manually delivered chest compressions or the automated chest compressions, wherein the selective provision of the CPR chest compression feedback comprises:
a provision at the display screen of a plurality of CPR chest compression feedback parameters if the chest compressions are the manually delivered chest compressions wherein the provision at the display screen of the plurality of CPR chest compression feedback parameters comprises a provision of the CPR chest compression feedback parameters with numbers and/or letters, and
a removal from the display screen of at least one CPR chest compression feedback parameter of the plurality of CPR chest compression feedback parameters if the chest compressions are the automated chest compressions.
