摘要:
A reduced lead set device (10) that detects and reports the presence of an acute cardiac ischemic condition in a patient includes a reduced set of sensing electrodes (12, 14, 16, 18, and 20) placed on a patient for acquiring ECG data from the patient. The reduced lead set device evaluates the ECG data on a reduced set of leads by analyzing local features and/or global features of the ECG data. Local features may include local morphological measures such as ST elevation and clinical information on the patient such as age and sex. Global features include projection coefficients calculated from projecting a concatenated vector of heartbeat data onto separate sets of basis vectors that define signal subspaces of ischemic and non-ischemic ECGs. One or more classifiers evaluate the local features and/or global features to determine whether an acute cardiac ischemic condition is detected. The operating point, i.e., sensitivity and specificity, of the reduced lead set device is adjustable. The result of the evaluation is reported to the user of the device.
摘要:
A device (10) that detects and reports the presence of an acute cardiac ischemic condition in a patient includes sensing electrodes (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30) placed on a patient for acquiring multiple (e.g., twelve) lead ECG data from the patient. The device evaluates the acquired ECG data by analyzing global features derived from the ECG data. Global features include projection coefficients calculated from projecting a concatenated vector of representative heartbeat data onto sets of basis vectors that define an acute cardiac ischemic ECG subspace and a non-ischemic ECG subspace. A classifier evaluates the global features to determine whether an acute cardiac ischemic condition is detected. In a further embodiment of the invention, one or more classifiers evaluate local features, such as local morphological features and patient clinical information, in addition to the global features to determine whether an acute cardiac ischemic condition is detected. The device (10) may be configured with an adjustable sensitivity/specificity operating point. The result of the evaluation is reported to the user of the device.
摘要:
The presence of a cardiac pulse in a patient is determined by evaluating physiological signals in the patient. In one embodiment, a medical device evaluates two or more different physiological signals, such as phonocardiogram (PCG) signals, electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, patient impedance signals, piezoelectric signals, and accelerometer signals for features indicative of the presence of a cardiac pulse. Using these features, the medical device determines whether a cardiac pulse is present in the patient. The medical device may also be configured to report whether the patient is in a VF, VT, asystole, or PEA condition, in addition to being in a pulseless condition, and prompt different therapies, such as chest compressions, rescue breathing, defibrillation, and PEA-specific electrotherapy, depending on the analysis of the physiological signals. Auto-capture of a cardiac pulse using pacing stimuli is further provided.

摘要:
Signal data obtained from a piezoelectric sensor placed on a patient's body is used to detect the presence of a cardiac pulse. The piezoelectric sensor has a transducing element adapted to sense movement due to a cardiac pulse and produce piezoelectric signal data in response thereto. Processing circuitry analyzes the piezoelectric signal data for a feature indicative of a cardiac pulse and determines whether a cardiac pulse is present in the patient based on the feature. In one aspect, the feature may be a temporal feature such as a relative change in energy. In another aspect, the feature may be a spectral feature such as the energy or frequency of a peak in the energy spectrum of the signal. In yet another aspect, the feature may be obtained by comparing the piezoelectric signal data with a previously-identified pattern known to predict the presence of a cardiac pulse. Multiple features may also be obtained from the piezoelectric signal data and classified to determine the presence of a cardiac pulse.
