There are important differences between adult and pediatric ECG. To approve their use in children, the adaptation of automated external defibrillator (AED) shock advice algorithms require a specific analysis of the particular pediatric ECG characteristics. In this study, we measured several pediatric ECG features and assessed their potential ability in the distinction between shockable and non-shockable...
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) often has very high heart rates in children. Automated external defibrillators (AED), whose use for children is recommended since 2003, could misinterpret high rate SVT as ventricular tachycardia (VT) producing an incorrect shock diagnosis. The objective of this study is to develop an algorithm to accurately discriminate SVT from VT in children. The algorithm was...
Automated external defibrillators (AED) detect fatal ventricular arrhythmias: ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). We have developed an algorithm based on the regularity of the detected beats to accurately discriminate VF from nonshockable rhythms in pediatric patients.The beat detection method is based on a preprocessing band pass filter (5-35 Hz) followed by a nonlinear...
In 2003 the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) approved the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) in children under 8 years of age. Two independent studies, conducted with commercial AEDs on proprietary pediatric ECG databases, provided the necessary scientific evidence. We have developed a database of pediatric rhythms for the evaluation of the rhythm analysis algorithms...
