Abstract: An example method includes detecting blood flow in an artery of a subject and detecting blood flow in a vein of the subject. The example method further includes determining whether blood is spontaneously flowing through the body of the subject by comparing the blood flow through the artery and the blood flow through the vein.

Abstract: Implementations for detecting blood flow through one or more blood vessels of a patient may include a flow monitor suited to detect blood flow to the brain during emergency situations. The flow monitor may be disposed on the skin of a patient and may emit an incident beam (e.g., ultrasound and/or infrared light) at an angle that is non-parallel to the blood vessel(s). The flow monitor may determine the velocity of blood flowing through the blood vessel(s) by detecting a Doppler shift in a reflection of the incident beam from the blood.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for determining a condition of a subject during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. In an example method, a measurement of a physiological parameter of an individual is filtered and/or gated based on identifying a treatment administered to the individual. A condition of the subject is identified based on filtering and/or gating the physiological parameter. The example method can be implemented into a mechanical chest compression device or another portable medical device. Together, the methods can improve the monitoring and treatment of subjects receiving CPR.

Abstract: Patient-operated treatment devices are described herein. An example device detects an electrocardiogram (ECG) of a subject and determines that the subject is operating a medical device. In response to determining that the subject is operating the medical device, the device monitors the subject for consciousness. If the device determines that the subject has become incapacitated while operating the device; it outputs a therapy to the subject.

Abstract: The disclosed physiological feedback systems and methods assist with assessing, monitoring and/or treating a patient experiencing a cardiac arrest event. The systems and methods receive multiple inputs and are continuous and/or iterative during a treatment session to provide physiological state trends of the patient. An index of the physiological state of the patient can be derived and confounders, and/or their effects, can be identified, and/or removed, from the index. Additionally, the systems and methods can assist with determining ischemic injury in a patient based on cerebral tissue oxygenation and/or other physiological data.

Abstract: The system and method provide for electrocardiogram analysis and optimization of patient-customized cardiopulmonary resuscitation and therapy delivery. An external medical device includes a housing and a processor within the housing. The processor can be configured to receive an input signal for a patient receiving chest compressions and to select at least one filter mechanism and to apply the filter mechanism to the signal to at least substantially remove chest compression artifacts from the signal. A real time dynamic analysis of a cardiac rhythm is applied to adjust and integrate CPR prompting of a medical device. Real-time cardiac rhythm quality is facilitated using a rhythm assessment meter.

An example method includes receiving, by an external defibrillator, data from a mechanical chest compression device that is administering chest compressions to a subject, determining, by the external defibrillator analyzing the data, a control parameter for controlling administration of a therapy to the subject by the external defibrillator, and administering, by the external defibrillator, the therapy to the subject in accordance with the control parameter.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to determining physiological parameters and associated reliability of the physiological parameters and displaying the data in a manner that conveys the reliability information to a user. The reliability index is determined and then used to determine one or more display attributes for displaying the underlying parameter data while also conveying the reliability information. The implementations described herein provide for displaying physiological parameters in a manner that is easily digested and understood while also conveying a reliability in such data, without filling or cluttering a display with background or additional data that is typically used in a manual method to evaluate the data on the display.

The memory is configured to store temperature data representing a history of temperatures sensed by the temperature sensor, and the output device is configured to provide an output based on the temperature data.

Abstract: A capnograph system may be used together with a ventilation system for a patient. The capnograph system may include a capnography module with a carbon dioxide detector, which may generate a carbon dioxide signal responsive to an amount of carbon dioxide detected within an air path of the ventilation system. A monitoring circuit may further detect a pressure within the air path. A processing component within the capnography module may generate a pressure signal responsive to the pressure detected in the air path. The pressure signal, alone or in combination with other signals such as the carbon dioxide signal, may be used to detect spontaneous breaths of the patient.
