摘要:
A computer-assisted method for quantitative characterization and treatment of ventricular fibrillation includes acquiring a time series of a ventricular fibrillation (VF) signal using a probe from a patient experiencing VF, subtracting the mean from the time series of the VF signal, calculating a cumulative VF signal after the mean is subtracted from the time series of the VF signal, segmenting the cumulative VF signal by a plurality of sampling boxes, calculating the root-mean-square of the cumulative VF signal as a function of the sampling box size , extracting an exponent of the root-mean-square of the cumulative VF signal as a function of the sampling box size, applying electrical defibrillation to the patient if the exponent is below a predetermined value, and applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the patient if the exponent is above a predetermined value.
