Abstract:
Resuscitation training has to be performed under most realistic conditions. This includes both usual CPR measures (breathing and chest compressions) and advanced measures, e.g. the usage of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). Almost all currently available simulators for ECG signals used in such trainings have a rather limited variety of available ECG signals. The trainer also has to change between different rhythms manually, resulting in a less realistic training environment. The development will result in mobile ECG simulator which can automatically react to events in the resuscitation process according to pre-programmed scenarios. It also has potential to simulate other physiological parameters like thorax impedance in the future.
