Abstract

This disclosure relates to methods, devices and systems for real-time recognition of restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) process. Recognition mechanisms in both time domain and frequency domain are provided for the ROSC recognition, where the time-domain recognition logic may detect the ROSC by recognizing envelope features of sampled signals in the time domain, and the frequency-domain recognition logic may detect the ROSC by recognizing spectral peaks at different frequency points continuously or significant variations of amplitude of spectral peaks in the frequency spectrum.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for real-time recognition of restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in a cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) process, comprising:
acquiring pulse oximetry waveform signals of a patient during CPR process; the pulse oximetry waveform signals are obtained according to light signals penetrated through a finger of the patient; and
determining whether there is ROSC during the CPR process by evaluating characteristics of the pulse oximetry waveform signals; wherein said determining whether there is ROSC during the CPR process by evaluating characteristics of the pulse oximetry waveform signals comprises:
identifying a first spectral peak from the pulse oximetry waveform signals in a frequency domain, the first spectral peak is located at a first frequency corresponding to manual compression during the CPR process;
identifying one or more second spectral peaks from the pulse oximetry waveform signals in the frequency domain, the second spectral peak(s) is/are located at second frequencies different from the first frequency; the second frequencies corresponding to spontaneous circulation; and
determining whether the one or more second spectral peaks are generated by the ROSC of the patient by evaluating time-varying features of the one or more second spectral peaks and/or one or more spectral peak characteristics of the one or more second spectral peaks.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said determining whether there is ROSC during the CPR process by evaluating characteristics of the pulse oximetry waveform signals comprises:
determining whether there is ROSC in the CPR process by detecting a time envelope of the pulse oximetry waveform signals in the time domain.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the time-domain recognition logic determines that there is ROSC when continuous and regular envelope features of the time envelope are recognized.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein it is determined that there is ROSC when it is identified that one of the one or more second spectral peaks is continuously identified at a second frequency in the frequency domain, wherein the second frequency is different from the first frequency.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein it is determined that there is ROSC when it is identified that a variation tendency of a location of the one or more second spectral peaks is monotonically increased.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said determining whether the one or more second spectral peaks are generated by the ROSC of the patient comprises evaluating amplitude, slope and/or area of the one or more second spectral peak(s).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first spectral peak has a first amplitude; and
wherein said determining whether there is ROSC during the CPR process by evaluating characteristics of the pulse oximetry waveform signals comprises:
determining whether there is ROSC during the CPR process by evaluating whether the first amplitude of the first spectral peak at the first frequency increases or decreases by a predetermined amount.
