Comparative assessment of shockable ECG rhythm detection algorithms in automated external defibrillators

A Reliable Method for Rhythm Analysis during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

“…Following standard practice in SAA design, the rhythm analysis method was designed to analyze three consecutive 3 s windows, so it gives a diagnosis every 9 s [23, 24]. A 3 s window is sufficient to characterize the rhythm in terms of rate, stability, and morphology and to make a shock (Sh) or no-shock (NSh) decision [23].…”

ECG spectral and morphological parameters reviewed and updated to detect adult and paediatric life-threatening arrhythmia

“…These recommendations specify the number and type of rhythms of the databases used to test the algorithms, and the performance goals in terms of the proportion of correctly identified shockable (sensitivity) and nonshockable (specificity) rhythms. The shock advice algorithms of commercial AEDs have been extensively tested in adults, both in vitro against libraries of recorded cardiac rhythms (Murray et al 1995, Clifford 1996, Jekova et al 2009 and in many clinical field trials (Weaver et al 1988, O'Rourke et al 1997, Page et al 2000.…”
