A sliding-window based algorithm to determine the presence of chest compressions from acceleration data.

ABSTRACT: This publication presents in detail five exemplary cases and the algorithm used in the article (Orlob et al. 2022). Defibrillator records for the five exemplary cases were obtained from the German Resuscitation Registry. They consist of accelerometry, electrocardiogram and capnography time series as well as defibrillation times, energies and impedance when recorded. For these cases, experienced physicians annotated time points of cardiac arrest and return of spontaneous circulation or termination of resuscitation attempts, as well as the beginning and ending of every single chest compression period in consensus, as described in Orlob et al. (2022). Furthermore, an algorithm was developed which reliably detects chest compression periods automatically without the time-consuming process of ma
