System for Õ beregne sannsynlighetstallet for utfallet av et tenkt forestÕende defibrillatorsjokk basert pÕ karakteristiske trekk ved hjertet mÕlt under hjertestans og gjenoppliving

摘要

A system is provided for evaluating the probability that the outcome of an immediately following defibrillator shock will result in return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and for providing a decision support signal based thereon. The system includes electrodes and sensors, a module for measuring CPR and ECG related data from the electrodes and sensors, the ECG related data being measured and/or stored as ECG segments, an analysis unit connected with the module and adapted to calculate a property vector characterizing the condition of the heart from the ECG segments. The analysis unit is further adapted to calculate a probability indicator representing the probability that the outcome of an immediately following defibrillator shock will result in ROSC based on the property vector. The analysis unit is also adapted to generate a decision support signal relating to further treatment based on the property vector and/or the calculated probability indicator.
