Heart rate and QRS duration as biomarkers predict the immediate outcome from pulseless electrical activity

Optimizing support vector machines and autoregressive integrated moving average methods for heart rate variability data correction

“…Furthermore, methods for artifact correction may also be used for forecasting if they only use previous data points for prediction (as opposed to using both previous and future points). Forecasting RR interval length (or heart rate) can possibly aid in diagnosis and treatment decisions preceding/following acute heart dysfunction [ 11 ]. In this paper the term correction will be used to encompass both prediction and correction.…”

Hands-free continuous carotid Doppler ultrasound for detection of the pulse during cardiac arrest in a porcine model

“…PEA is increasingly and particularly prevalent in both in-hospital (IHCA) and out-of-hospital (OHCA) cardiac arrest. 11 , 12 Recent research from our research group at NTNU 13 , 14 shows that PEA behaves very differently in terms of developing ROSC, depending on the preceding rhythm (primary, or secondary to temporary ROSC, ventricular fibrillation (VF), ventricular tachycardia (VT), or asystole). Thus, incorrect decisions about the presence or absence of a carotid pulse, both initially and when evaluating the response to treatment, may deprive the patient of an individualized approach.…”
