Abstract
A method of automatically determining which type of treatment is most appropriate for a cardiac arrest victim, the method comprising transforming one or more time domain electrocardiogram (ECG) signals into a frequency domain representation comprising a plurality of discrete frequency bands, combining the discrete frequency bands into a plurality of analysis bands, wherein there are fewer analysis bands than discrete frequency bands, determining the content of the analysis bands, and determining the type of treatment based on the content of the analysis bands.
Claims6
A method of automatically determining which type of treatment is most appropriate for a patient, the method comprising:
- transforming a time domain electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements signal measured from the patient into frequency domain data;
- processing the frequency domain data to determine the variance of the energy distributed across a selected frequency range;
- and
- determining the type of treatment based on the determined variance.
