Reduction of CPR artifacts in the ventricular fibrillation ECG by coherent line removal

摘要

BackgroundInterruption of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) impairs the perfusion of the fibrillating heart, worsening the chance for successful defibrillation. Therefore ECG-analysis during ongoing chest compression could provide a considerable progress in comparison with standard analysis techniques working only during "hands-off" intervals.
