Abstract: A system for facilitating resuscitation includes: a first electrode assembly having a therapy side and a first motion sensor; a second electrode assembly having a therapy side and a second motion sensor; processing circuitry operatively connected to and programmed to receive and process signals from the first and second motion sensors to estimate at least one of a chest compression depth and rate during administration of chest compressions and to compare the chest compression depth or rate to a desired range; and an output device for providing instructions to a user to administer chest compressions based on the comparison of the estimated chest compression depth or rate to the desired range. One or both of the electrode assemblies may be constructed so that the conductive therapeutic portion is able to maintain substantial conformance to the anatomy of the patient when coupled thereto.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in the administration of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. The system includes an adhesive pad configured to be adhered to at least a portion of a patient's chest, a sensor configured to be placed on the patient's chest and to measure at least one chest compression parameter during CPR treatment, and a landing pad having a coupling surface at least partially surrounding the sensor and configured for maintaining adherence with an active compression decompression device, the adherence sufficient to transfer decompression force between the active compression decompression device and the patient's chest during the CPR treatment.

Abstract: An electrode assembly for patient monitoring and treatment can include an electrode configured to be worn by a patient to provide at least one of monitoring a cardiac function of the patient and delivering a treatment for cardiac arrhythmia to the patient; and a first connector connected to and in communication with the electrode, the first connector including a male connection portion. The male connection portion is configured to engage a second connector to form a mating engagement between the first connector and the second connector. The male connection portion includes at least one orientation aligning feature configured to engage the male connection portion of the first connector with the second connector in a fixed orientation with respect to the second connector to form the mating engagement. The first connector has a flattened profile.
