  • Patent number: 11406839
    Abstract: A defibrillation device for administering an electrotherapy, such as a dual-sequential defibrillation (DSD) electrotherapy. The defibrillation device can include a defibrillation therapy module, a physiological parameter module and a control module. The defibrillation therapy module can output one or more energies and the physiological parameter module can receive one or more physiological parameters, including electrocardiogram (ECG) data. The control module can analyze the physiological parameters to determine an indication for the administration of an electrotherapy and can determine a DSD electrotherapy. The DSD electrotherapy can be based at least in part on the physiological parameters, the indication for the administration of an electrotherapy or a review of the ECG data.

  • Publication number: 20220219000
    Abstract: Techniques are described for pacing assistance and automation. For example, a pacing device, such as an external defibrillator, provides electrical stimulations to an external surface of a patient based on a determination as to whether capture has been achieved. The pacing device determines whether capture has been achieved using multiple types of sensor data and/or historical sensor data. These techniques effect a particular treatment (e.g., pacing using an external pacing system) for a medical condition (e.g., bradycardia). In some examples, the pacing device provides notifications to assist with pacing to a healthcare provider that is administering pacing to a patient. Notifications may include an indication that multiple representations corresponding to different biological parameters of a patient may assist with pacing, that the patient has an internal pacemaker, and so forth.

  • Publication number: 20220176138
    Abstract: An example method is performed by a defibrillator that includes a therapy cable receptacle and an electrocardiogram cable receptacle. The method includes displaying a user interface screen that includes a primary channel for displaying a primary waveform and a secondary channel for displaying secondary data. The method also includes detecting a lack of a patient connection for therapy pads and detecting a patient connection for an ECG lead obtained using an ECG electrode cable. In addition, the method includes displaying a representation of an ECG signal obtained using the ECG electrode cable in the primary channel based on detecting the lack of the patient connection for the therapy pads and detecting the patient connection for the ECG lead.

  • Publication number: 20220160282
    Abstract: An example method is performed by an electrocardiogram (ECG) device and includes determining a number of lead wires of an ECG cable assembly that is attached to the ECG device. The method also includes receiving ECG signals using electrodes of the ECG cable assembly. Further, the method includes using the number of lead wires as a basis for selecting a live-lead view from among a first live-lead view and a second live-lead view. Still further, the method includes displaying a representation of the ECG signals in the selected live-lead view in accordance with the selection.
