Abstract
A system and method for monitoring resuscitation and respiratory mechanics of a patient is provided. A pressure sensor detects air pressure within an air-flow path of a resuscitator and generates a first detection signal in response thereto. A flow-rate sensor detects the flow-rate within the air-flow path and generates a second detection signal In response thereto. A processor receives and processes the first and second detection signals using an algorithm to identify a ventilation rate, a lung pressure, and an air volume corresponding to the respiratory air. A report is generated of real-time feedback about respiration of the patient that includes the ventilation rate, lung pressure, and air volume.
