Abstract

A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) aiding computer system provides guidance to rescue personnel trained in CPR for resuscitating a victim under an emergency condition. The system includes an input for entering information signals representative at least of characteristics of the victim relevant to proper performance of CPR techniques, a processing unit responsive to the information signals and for providing output signals representative of proper steps to be taken in resuscitating the victim, and an output, including a display, responsive to the output signals and for providing guidance signals, which include visible signals, such as animated images, on the display, of the proper steps to be taken by the rescue personnel in resuscitating the victim. In one embodiment, the output includes an audio system for producing audible guidance in response to the output signals, wherein the speech guidance is synchronized with the visible guidance. The system can be configured as a personal computer, or as a network of terminals and computers.
