Comparing results of Defibtech's AED SAA before and after applying CNNED on the CPR-contaminated ECG, the specificity improved from 96.21% to 99.14% for normal sinus rhythm, and from 88.5% to 96.45% for other non-shockable rhythms. The sensitivity of shockable detection also increased from ...
Initial shockable rhythmPulseless VT/VFCA due to or resulting in VF Non shockable rhythm No ROSC within 15 mins of ACLS CPR > 20 mins when the heart is in asystole (exceptions: hypothermia, drowning, and suspected pulmonary embolism) or VF/VT with ≥120 beats/min CA due to reversible caus...
"shocks the conscience" in that it offends "those canons of decency and fairness which express the notions of justice of English-speaking peoples." Due process of law requires the state to observe those principles that are "so rooted in the traditions and conscience of our people as to be ...
Younger age, witnessed arrest, initial pulseless electrical activity rhythms, and cardiac etiology were significantly associated with the presence of subsequent shock in patients with initially non-shockable rhythms.#In this study of cardiac arrest patients with initially non-shockable rhythms, patients ...
These lightweight, simple-to-operate devices have automated electrocardiographic (ECG) rhythm analysis systems to differentiate “shockable” from “non-shockable” cardiac rhythms, followed by shock advisory instructions (i.e., audible instructions to provide defibrillatory shocks or CPR). Therefore, ...
Shock advisements were coded as discordant if a shock was advised for a non-shockable rhythm or not advised for a shockable rhythm. Results: We analyzed 330 rhythm trials in total (66 per device), finding 28 (8.5%) discordant shock advisements overall. Discordance ranged from 6% to 11% ...
Age, raised blood lactate and creatinine values, and time from collapse to restoration of spontaneous circulation increased the risk of ICU mortality from both shock and brain injury, whereas a shockable rhythm was associated with reduced risk of death from these causes. Finally, bystander ...
However, the prognostic significance of rhythm conversion stratified by the type of initial non-shockable rhythm is still unclear. PURPOSE. We aimed to investigate the association of subsequent shock after rhythm conversion to shockable rhythm with neurologically intact survival and shock delivery time (...
Of the 592 resuscitation attempts that were started in the control protocol, 291 were excluded because of a non-shockable initial rhythm and four for having a non-cardiac cause. In the experimental protocol, 284 resuscitation attempts were excluded because of a non-shockable initial rhythm and ...
The presence of CA increases in-hospital mortality, particularly in the absence of underlying shockable rhythm (39). Given that anoxic brain injury remains the leading cause of mortality in out-of-hospital patients with CA, treatment algorithms based on electrocardiogram findings and the presence or...
