Abstract

GOAL: Accurate shock decision methods during piston-driven cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) would contribute to improve therapy and increase cardiac arrest survival rates. The best current methods are computationally demanding, and their accuracy could be improved. The objective of this work was to introduce a computationally efficient algorithm for shock decision during piston-driven CPR with increased accuracy.
