SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYZING CARDIAC RHYTHM DURING CPR

A diagnostic medical device (900) is described which incorporates an improved ECG analysis algorithm (600, 800) that identifies an arrhythmia treatable by a defibrillation shock, wherein the identification can occur even in the presence of underlying CPR artifact. The analysis algorithm allows for a...

Zusammenfassung:A diagnostic medical device (900) is described which incorporates an improved ECG analysis algorithm (600, 800) that identifies an arrhythmia treatable by a defibrillation shock, wherein the identification can occur even in the presence of underlying CPR artifact. The analysis algorithm allows for a shorter interval between the application of CPR compressions and the delivery of electrotherapy, and thus increases the likelihood of successful resuscitation. The medical device may also include a defibrillating electrotherapy circuit (920).
