1. A system for treating cardiac arrest in a patient, comprising:
an active compression decompression device configured to allow an operator to deliver active compression decompression treatment to the patient;
a flexible surface element provided as a contact pad of the active compression decompression device and configured to adhere to a chest of the patient;
one or more electrodes arranged with the flexible surface element and configured to contact a chest of the patient to provide electrical defibrillation to the patient;
at least one electronic sensor associated with at least one of the active compression decompression device and the flexible surface element, the at least one electronic sensor comprising an electronic force sensor configured to measure compression force and decompression force during administration of active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the patient;
an operator interface; and
at least one processor operably coupled to the operator interface and the at least one electronic sensor, the at least one processor configured to provide an indication of the measured compression force or decompression force and an indication of whether the measured force is associated with a compression phase or a decompression phase via the operator interface.
