Abstract
A defibrillator includes circuitry configured to produce a defibrillatory shock and an audio/video output unit having a database of video image information stored in a memory, a video display, and a video formulation unit coupled to the memory and configured to retrieve video information from the database of video image information and present corresponding information to the video display for display. The video information may include still images, animated images, motion images or a combination of textual information and at least one of still images, animated images and motion images. The audio/video output unit may be configured to receive inputs relating to user inputs, patient signals and device inputs, and to provide video instructions, and optionally audio or textual instructions, relating to operation of the defibrillator based on the current operational state of the defibrillator.
