Claim 6:
7. A method for supporting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) operations, the method comprising:
acquiring, via an ultrasound probe of a medical imaging system, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of a patient, echo ultrasound signals corresponding to ultrasound signals transmitted via by ultrasound probe;
processing, by at least one processor of the medical imaging system, ultrasound images generated based on the received echo ultrasound signals;
identifying, by the at least one processor, based on the processing of the ultrasound images, at least one anatomical structure pertinent to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the at least one anatomical structure being an anatomical structure associated with the heart;
determining, by the at least one processor, based on the processing of the ultrasound images, real-time information relating to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); and
generating, by the at least one processor, based on the information, feedback for assisting in conducting the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR);
wherein:
the feedback comprises information and/or indications relating to compressions applied during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR);
the feedback is configured for outputting during displaying of the generated ultrasound images; and
the feedback comprises at least one visual indication, associated with applying the compressions, relative to the at least one anatomical structure in the generated ultrasound images.
