Embodiment Construction
[0020] In a clean ECG waveform (eg, without any CC artifacts), the asystole rhythm shows an almost flat line, which indicates a state of no or low cardiac electrical activity in the patient's heart. During chest compressions, the asystolic rhythm of the ECG waveform is dominated by CC artifacts ("CC degraded ECG waveforms") or any filter residue when CC artifacts are filtered ("CC filtered ECG waveforms"). However, the present invention is premised on the discovery that several signal features preserved in both CC-degraded and CC-filtered ECG waveforms are able to distinguish asystole rhythms from other cardiac rhythms even during cardiac compressions, as herein to combine figure 2 Exemplary description.
[0021] One example of preserving signal characteristics is the magnitude spectral area ("AMSA"), which measures the area under the curve of the magnitude frequency spectrum over a specific frequency range. Another example of preserving signal characteristics is the first ...
