Rhythm Analysis during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Past, Present, and Future

Figure 1

ECG segments in mV recorded in patients in OHCA. The top panel shows a VF, the middle panel shows a PEA, and the bottom panel shows an asystole. In all cases CPR artifacts corrupt the ECG in the initial 15 s interval. In the second 15 s interval chest compressions were stopped and the ECG shows the underlying rhythm.
