Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to techniques for managing health care protocols, and in particular, brain injury protocols, with a system that may be incorporated with a device such as a defibrillator, patient monitor, or other device. The system selects a brain injury protocol as a function of patient data received from an operator, or from a monitoring device, or both. Pursuant to the protocol, the system may present information, direct an operator to perform a task, determine a presumptive diagnosis, and control a therapy device.
