Claim:
1. A resuscitation system for resuscitating a patient, comprising: a first unit and second unit configured to be mechanically and electrically detached and reattached from and to one another; wherein at least portions of the first unit are configured to be supported by the patient for extended periods of time, wherein the second unit is configured to be detached from the first unit and not supported by the patient for periods of time, and configured to be reattached to the first unit and supported by the patient when defibrillation may need to be delivered to the patient, wherein at least one electrical connection configured to be disconnected and to be reconnected is provided between the first and second units, at least two defibrillation electrodes adapted to be worn by the patient and composed of a skin-contacting material that can be safely held against a patient's skin for the extended periods of time; circuitry for monitoring an ECG of the patient; at least one processor configured for analysing the ECG of the patient, and determining whether electrical therapy should be delivered to the at least two defibrillation electrodes; circuitry for providing defibrillation pulses to the at least two defibrillation electrodes; and circuitry for providing prompts on chest compression or ventilation performance during resuscitation, wherein the circuitry for monitoring the ECG, the processor configured for analysing the ECG, and the circuitry for providing the prompts form part of the first unit, and wherein the circuitry for providing defibrillation pulses forms part of the second unit.
