Abstract
According to the disclosure there is provided an apparatus that assesses chest recoil of a subject during cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) carried out by a rescuer on the subject and provides feedback to the rescuer. This apparatus may include a bio-signal measurement system configured to measure bio-signals of the subject. The apparatus may identify when CPR is required and may provide a CPR start signal to indicate when CPR should be started and this apparatus may identify when CPR is to be ceased. A CPR stop signal may be provided to a rescuer to indicate when CPR should be stopped. The apparatus may include electronic circuits capable of measuring impedance signals of the subject, may include sensors that sense bio-signals, and may include defibrillator shock electronics capable of providing a shock to the subject to restart or reset the heart of the subject.
