Ensuring automatic detection of ventricular fibrillation.
T he sensitivity and specificity of ventricular fibrillation (VF) detection by automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have received relatively little attention by clinical investigators compared with other aspects of defibrillator use. The paucity of reports on ventricular fibrillation detection is not related to its lack of importance but rather reflects how difficult it is t...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a tutorial level introduction to (a) the physiology and clinical background of paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation (PAF), and (b) methods for detection of patterns consistent with AF using electrocardiogram (ECG) processing. The document assumes that the reader is familiar with basic signal processing concepts, but assumes no prior knowledge o...
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 کاملDetection of Ventricular Fibrillation Using Random Forest Classifier
Early warning and detection of ventricular fibrillation is crucial to the successful treatment of this life-threatening condition. In this paper, a ventricular fibrillation classification algorithm using a machine learning method, random forest, is proposed. A total of 17 previously defined ECG feature metrics were extracted from fixed length segments of the echocardiogram (ECG). Three annotate...
متن کاملRELIABILITY 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...
