Fast Electrocardiogram Amplifier Recovery after Defibrillation Shock
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: A procedure for fast ECG amplifier recovery after defibrillation shocks was developed and simulated in the MATLAB environment. Exponentially decaying post-shock voltages have been recorded. Signals from the AHA database are taken and mixed with the recorded exponential disturbances. The algorithm applies moving averaging (comb filter) on the compound input signal, thereby obtaining the samples of the disturbance. They are currently subtracted from the input signal. The results obtained show that its recovery is practically instantaneous.

Impact of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion on ventricular defibrillation patterns, energy requirements, and detection of recovery.
BACKGROUND Shocks that have defibrillated spontaneous ventricular fibrillation (VF) during acute ischemia or reperfusion may seem to have failed if VF recurs before the ECG amplifier recovers after shock. This could explain why the defibrillation threshold (DFT) for spontaneous VF appears markedly higher than for electrically induced VF. METHODS AND RESULTS The DFT for electrically induced VF...
متن کاملHands-on defibrillation and electrocardiogram artefact filtering technology increases chest compression fraction and decreases peri-shock pause duration in a simulation model of cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Reducing pauses during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compressions result in better outcomes in cardiac arrest. Artefact filtering technology (AFT) gives rescuers the opportunity to visualize the underlying electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythm during chest compressions, and reduces the pauses that occur before and after delivering a shock. We conducted a simulation study to measure th...
متن کاملMechanism of ventricular defibrillation for near-defibrillation threshold shocks: a whole-heart optical mapping study in swine.
BACKGROUND To study the mechanism by which shocks succeed (SDF) or fail (FDF) to defibrillate, global cardiac activation and recovery and their relationship to defibrillation outcome were investigated for shock strengths with approximately equal SDF and FDF outcomes (DFT(50)). METHODS AND RESULTS In 6 isolated pig hearts, dual-camera video imaging was used to record optically from approximate...
متن کاملVirtual electrode-induced reexcitation: A mechanism of defibrillation.
Mechanisms of defibrillation remain poorly understood. Defibrillation success depends on the elimination of fibrillation without shock-induced arrhythmogenesis. We optically mapped selected epicardial regions of rabbit hearts (n=20) during shocks applied with the use of implantable defibrillator electrodes during the refractory period. Monophasic shocks resulted in virtual electrode polarizatio...
متن کاملOptical mapping of ventricular defibrillation in isolated swine right ventricles: demonstration of a postshock isoelectric window after near-threshold defibrillation shocks.
BACKGROUND Investigators who studied ventricular defibrillation by use of optical mapping techniques failed to observe an initial defibrillation event (isoelectric window or quiescent period) shown by electrode mapping studies. This discrepancy has important implications for the mechanisms of defibrillation. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate an optical equivalent of an isoelec...
