Abstract:
Comparative assessments of the efficiency and noise immunity of the algorithms detecting the shock cardiac rhythms (SCR) are described in the paper. It is suggested to use the rejection filter of ventricular fibrillation as the principle algorithm for the SCR detection in an automated external defibrillator. The use of the method combining the after-threshold interval and the method of spectral analysis is demonstrated to be preferable for a portable external defibrillator.

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

An electrocardiography (ECG) machine is an essential piece of medical equipment used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart. It operates by detecting small electrical changes on the skin that result from the depolarization of the heart muscle during each heartbeat. However, these signals are in the microvolt range and can be easily overwhelmed by noise or interference.
