RELIABILITY OF FIBRILLATION DETECTION ALGORITHMS IN AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AEDs)
A central component in automatic external defibrillators (AED) is the detection of ventricular fibrillation by means of appropriate detection algorithms. In the scientific literature there exists a wide variety of methods and ideas for handling this task. To test the quality of an algorithm for ECG analysis, it is essential to do this with a large amount of commented data under equal conditions...
متن کاملAutomatic external defibrillators: changing the way we manage ventricular fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE To discuss recent developments in automatic defibrillation and to review the evidence that first-responders equipped with automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) improve survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE search from 1966 to 1999 (articles in English only) and examination of bibliographies. STUDY SELECTION Published studies of out-of-hospital cardi...
متن کاملCan Hospital Standard Manual Defibrillators Be Replaced By Automatic External Defibrillators: Results On A Simulated Model
Introduction: Although AED (automated external defibrillator) are being placed in many public places, standard manual defibrillator (SMD) still predominates in the hospital setting. Study Objective: Determine differences in time to first shock by residents comparing AED's to SMD's. Methods: Emergency Medicine residents were tested using both AED and SMD separately in simulated cardiac arrests. ...
متن کاملPrinciples of External Defibrillators
Electrical defibrillation is the only effective therapy for cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF) [1, 2] or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT). Scientific evidence to sup‐ port early defibrillation is overwhelming [3-5], being delay from collapse to delivery of the first shock the single most important determinant of survival [6, 7]. If defibrillation is deliv‐ ered promptl...
متن کاملAutomated external defibrillators in the workplace.
a. An AED is not required by the OHSR; however, AED training is included in all of the OFA and OFA equivalent courses. No separate certificate is issued for the CPR/AED training received in an OFA course the training is simply part of the course. Workers who possess a valid OFA certificate were able to demonstrate competency deploying an AED as part of their training or examination and were dul...
