Motion artifact reduction systems improve ventricular fibrillation recognition during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This technology allows for automated rhythm discrimination without interrupting chest compressions, enhancing CPR effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Motion artifact in electrocardiograms (ECG) hinders automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in recognizing ventricular fibrillation (VF) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
  • Frequent CPR interruptions for artifact-free ECG interpretation reduce CPR efficacy.
  • A novel motion artifact reduction system (MARS) was developed using adaptive noise cancellation techniques for CPR.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of MARS in enabling automated rhythm discrimination during uninterrupted CPR.
  • To determine if MARS can improve the recognition of ventricular fibrillation (VF) during chest compressions.

Main Methods:

  • A swine model underwent CPR with induced normal sinus rhythm (NSR), VF, and asystole.

  • A single ECG lead and chest compression force signal were sampled during continuous CPR.
  • MARS processed the signals to suppress artifacts, providing a filtered ECG for real-time analysis by defibrillators.

    • Main Results:

    • MARS significantly improved VF classification during CPR from 15.8% (35/222) to 97.5% (310/318) (p<0.001).
    • Non-shockable rhythms were correctly classified in 93.7% (59/63) with raw ECG and 95.2% (60/63) with MARS-filtered ECG (p=N.S.).
    • During normal conditions without CPR, both raw and filtered ECGs allowed accurate rhythm identification.

    Conclusions:

    • Adaptive noise cancellation-based motion artifact reduction enables VF recognition during uninterrupted automated CPR.
    • This technology can potentially eliminate the need for CPR interruptions, thereby increasing CPR efficacy.
    • MARS represents a significant advancement in improving resuscitation outcomes during cardiac arrest.
