A medical ventilation monitoring system (100) includes a patient ventilation unit defining an airflow path, the unit arranged so that when the unit is applied to a patient, the airflow path is in fluid communication with the patient's airway； an airflow sensor (106) in the air flow path positioned to sense the presence of ventilation airflow to or from the patient； and a wireless transceiver arranged to receive data that is generated by a portable medical device, and to use the data to provide feedback to a rescuer regarding proper administration of ventilation.
