Claim 0:
1. A medical ventilation monitoring system for providing treatment to a patient, comprising:
a patient ventilation unit having an airflow path configured for use in fluid communication with the patient's airway, the patient ventilation unit comprising an airflow sensor positioned to measure airflow in the patient's airway; and
a patient monitor comprising a visual display and a controller in electronic communication with the airflow sensor and the visual display, the controller configured to:
receive data from the airflow sensor regarding the measured airflow in the patient's airway,
analyze the received data to compute a ventilation tidal volume for the ventilations applied to the patient,
determine whether the ventilation tidal volume falls within a target ventilation tidal volume range according to a predetermined treatment protocol, and
provide feedback on the visual display of the patient monitor, the feedback comprising at least one visual indicator that provides treatment guidance for a rescuer based, at least in part, on the determination of whether the ventilation tidal volume falls within the target ventilation tidal volume range.
