Zusammenfassung:Techniques are described for pacing assistance and automation. For example, a pacing device, such as an external defibrillator, provides electrical stimulations to an external surface of a patient based on a determination as to whether capture has been achieved. The pacing device determines whether capture has been achieved using multiple types of sensor data and/or historical sensor data. These techniques effect a particular treatment (e.g., pacing using an external pacing system) for a medical condition (e.g., bradycardia). In some examples, the pacing device provides notifications to assist with pacing to a healthcare provider that is administering pacing to a patient. Notifications may include an indication that multiple representations corresponding to different biological parameters of a patient may assist with pacing, that the patient has an internal pacemaker, and so forth.
