It has been claimed that the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and its improved version
the ensemble EMD (EEMD) are computation intensive. In this study we will prove that the …

for many decades, there has been a general perception in the literature that Fourier methods
are not suitable for the analysis of nonlinear and non-stationary data. In this paper, we …

There is evidence for increasing survival rates following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and
this is associated with increasing rates of bystander CPR. The quality of CPR provided by …

This study evaluates four databases from PhysioNet: The American Heart Association
database (AHADB), Creighton University Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia database (CUDB) …

Abstract Aim Amplitude Spectrum Area (AMSA) and Median Slope (MS) are ventricular
fibrillation (VF) waveform measures that predict defibrillation shock success …

Impedance plethysmography provides a way to measure respiratory activity by sensing the
change of thoracic impedance caused by inspiration and expiration. This measurement …

Objective Quantitative ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform analysis is a potentially powerful
tool to optimize defibrillation. However, whether combining VF features with additional …

Aim Quantitative waveform measures of the ventricular fibrillation (VF) electrocardiogram
(ECG) predict defibrillation outcome. Calculation requires an ECG epoch without chest …

Parameters derived from the goniometer measures in the Pendulum test are insufficient in
describing the function of abnormal muscle activity in the spasticity. To explore a quantitative …

Background Amplitude spectrum area (AMSA) calculated from ventricular fibrillation (VF)
can be used to monitor the effectiveness of chest compression (CC) and optimize the timing …
