Abstract: A system for assisting a rescuer in providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) chest compressions includes a motion sensor configured to generate motion sensor signals indicative of chest motion and a defibrillator. The defibrillator includes a processor and a display screen configured to provide CPR feedback and defibrillation information. The processor is configured to receive the motion sensor signals, analyze the motion sensor signals for features characteristic of a chest compression delivery type to distinguish between chest compression delivery types comprising manual compression, non-automated ACD, and automated ACD, and selectively provide the CPR feedback at the display screen based on an identification of the chest compression delivery type such that the CPR feedback includes a plurality of CPR parameters for the manual compression delivery type and remove at least portions of the CPR parameters from the display screen for the non-automated ACD and the automated ACD compression delivery types.

Abstract: A system for assisting a rescuer in providing resuscitative treatment to a victim is described. The system includes a motion sensor configured to generate motion sensor signals that are indicative of motion of the chest of the victim during chest compressions, an input device configured to receive user input indicative of a type of chest compressions, an output device, and a processor, a memory, and associated circuitry, the processor communicatively coupled to the motion sensor, the input device, and the output device and is configured to receive the motion sensor signals and the user input indicative of the type of chest compressions, determine chest compression feedback for the rescuer based on the motion sensor signals, and control the output device to selectively provide the chest compression feedback for the rescuer based at least in part on the type of chest compressions indicated by the user input.

Abstract: A system for providing situational awareness outside a temporary incident area network includes a prioritized connection module for connecting a mesh network at the incident area to one of a plurality of available communications channels, with the selection based not only on the availability of a communications channel but also on the associated expense, speed, reliability or bandwidth, so that high bandwidth traffic such as video and pictures can be reliably sent from the incident area to a location outside of the incident area. In one embodiment switching to a satellite phone network bypasses problems with terrestrial networks such as cell phone networks and landlines which may be down.
