A Machine Learning Model for the Prognosis of Pulseless Electrical Activity during Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
(MDPI, 2021-06-30)
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is characterized by the disassociation of the mechanical and electrical activity of the heart and appears as the initial rhythm in 20–30% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases. ...
Rhythm Analysis during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using Convolutional Neural Networks
(MDPI, 2020-05-27)
Chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) induce artifacts in the ECG that may provoque inaccurate rhythm classification by the algorithm of the defibrillator. The objective of this study was to design ...
A Machine Learning Framework for Pulse Detection During Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
(IEEE, 2020-09-02)
The availability of an automatic pulse detection during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
would allow the rapid identi cation of cardiac arrest and the prompt detection of return of spontaneous
circulation. The aim ...
Restoration of the electrocardiogram during mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(IOP, 2020-04-04)
Objective: An artefact-free electrocardiogram (ECG) is essential during cardiac arrest to decide therapy such as defibrillation. Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) devices cause movement artefacts that alter ...
Spanish vs USA cohort comparison of prehospital trauma scores to predict short-term mortality
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
Background
This study aimed to evaluate three prehospital early warning scores (EWSs): RTS, MGAP and MREMS, to predict short-term mortality in acute life-threatening trauma and injury/illness by comparing United States ...
Metrics of impulsiveness of manual chest compressions for out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Aim
Propose new metrics of impulsiveness of manual chest compressions (CCs) that account for shape and duration, separate the characteristics of the compressive part of the CC cycle from those of the recoil part, and ...
Optical fiber interferometer for temperature-independent refractive index measuring over a broad range
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
The present work relates to manufacturing of a simple interferometric optical fiber refractometer that features broad refractive index measuring range without ambiguity. The device consists of a cylindrical polymer cavity ...
Characterization of mechanical properties of adult chests during pre-hospital manual chest compressions through a simple viscoelastic model
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Aim
The purpose of this study was to develop a simple viscoelastic model to characterize the mechanical properties of chests during manual chest compressions in pre-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Metho ...
Contribution of chest compressions to end-tidal carbon dioxide levels generated during out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
Aim
Characterise how changes in chest compression depth and rate affect variations in end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) during manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Methods
Retrospective ...
Review of a Custom-Designed Optical Sensing System for Aero-Engine Applications
(MDPI, 2021-02-25)
Fibre bundle-based reflective optical sensors are good candidates for parameter monitorisation in aero engines. Tip clearance is one of those parameters of great concern that is necessary to monitor. Within this optical ...
