The Automatic External Cardioverter-Defibrillator
In-hospital cardiac arrest remains a major problem but new technologies allowing fully automatic external defibrillation are available. These technologies allow the concept of "external therapeutic monitoring" of lethal arrhythmias. Since early defibrillation improves outcome by decreasing morbidity and mortality, the use of this device should improve the outcome of in-hospital cardiac arrest v...
متن کاملThe wearable defibrillator: a most affordable vest
The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has become a cornerstone in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, as well as in survivors of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias and carriers of a genetic arrhythmia syndrome. Current guidelines recommend ICD implantation in patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction 35%, despit...
متن کاملImportance of automatic external defibrillator: save a life in athletic fields.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) among athletes is major unexpected and tragic event that is more detected in world population within recent years due to the increasing and widespread preoccupation with sports (Maron et al., 1996; Maron, 2003). Acute cardiovascular collapse is the most common cause of nontraumatic exercise related death in young athletes. Corrado et al. (2003) also have reported that...
متن کاملIs arrhythmia detection by automatic external defibrillator accurate for children?: sensitivity and specificity of an automatic external defibrillator algorithm in 696 pediatric arrhythmias.
BACKGROUND Use of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in children aged <8 years is not recommended. The purpose of this study was to develop an ECG database of shockable and nonshockable rhythms from a broad age range of pediatric patients and to test the accuracy of the Agilent Heartstream FR2 Patient Analysis System for sensitivity and specificity. METHODS AND RESULTS Children aged </=...
متن کاملAutomated External Defibrillator Using Flying Robotic Ambulance
The Purpose of this paper is to introduce a flying robot that saves lives of victims in case of sudden cardiac arrests .we have designed this robot to bring along an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) to help the lay rescuers in providing first aid to the victim before the arrival of ambulance .Once when the cardiac arrest occurs, signal would be transmitted to the AmbuFBot station by sensi...
