Early defibrillation by an automated external defibrillator (AED) is key for the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. ECG feature extraction and machine learning have been successfully used to detect ventricular fibrillation (V...
BACKGROUND: Outcome prediction for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has the possibility to detect patients who could have been potentially saved. Advanced machine learning techniques have recently been developed and employed for cl...

Pulse detection during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains challenging for both novel and expert rescuers because current methods are inaccurate and time-consuming. There is still a need to develop automatic methods for pulse detection, where the ...

Chest compressions delivered during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) induce artifacts in the ECG that may make the shock advice algorithms (SAA) of defibrillators inaccurate. There is evidence that methods consisting of adaptive filters that remov...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to train, validate and compare predictive models that use machine learning analysis for good neurological recovery in OHCA patients.

INTRODUCTION: Studies examining the factors linked to survival after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have either aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of OHCA in different parts of the world, or focused on certain factors and wheth...
BACKGROUND: Pre-hospital circumstances, cardiac arrest characteristics, comorbidities and clinical status on admission are strongly associated with outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Early prediction of outcome may inform prognosis,...
IMPORTANCE: Emergency medical dispatchers fail to identify approximately 25% of cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), resulting in lost opportunities to save lives by initiating cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
BACKGROUND: Prognostication of neurological outcome in patients who remain comatose after cardiac arrest resuscitation is complex. Clinical variables, as well as biomarkers of brain injury, cardiac injury, and systemic inflammation, all yield some pr...

Background Because chest compressions induce artifacts in the ECG, current automated external defibrillators instruct the user to stop cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while an automated rhythm analysis is performed. It has been shown that minimiz...
