1. A resuscitation system for aiding a user in providing resuscitative treatment to a patient, the system comprising:
a first electrode coupled in fixed relation with a first motion sensor;
a second electrode coupled in fixed relation with a second motion sensor;
at least one processor and memory, the at least one processor configured to
analyze motion signals from the first and second motion sensors to determine that the first or second electrode is being handled by a user, and
estimate an orientation with respect to gravity of the first and second electrodes relative to each other; and
a communication component configured to
provide first feedback in response to a determination that the first or second electrode is being handled by the user, wherein the first feedback is provided before the first or second electrode is brought into contact with the patient and the first feedback includes a graphical indication of a preferred location for the user to place the first or second electrode on a body, and
provide second feedback based on the estimated orientation of the first and second electrodes relative to each other,
wherein the first feedback and the second feedback assist the user in placement of the first electrode and the second electrode on the patient in one of an anterior-anterior position or an anterior-posterior position.
