Abstract
A method to provide feedback, coaching, and ECG analysis during a cardiac event. A rescuer would typically be attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and/or administering an electrical shock from a defibrillator and/or collecting electrocardiogram (ECG) data. The method includes a step of providing a data-generation device (e.g., a camera) and computing components. The computer is used to calculate distances on the fly using data generated by the data-generation device, such as a camera, that may be in motion. The method uses the computer to calculate movement of the chest of a patient and to assess outcomes. When CPR contaminates an ECG, the computer removes the unwanted contamination so that proper guidance to the rescuer can be delivered during CPR.
