The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $752,495 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program to the University of Connecticut. The grant's objective is to develop a deep learning-based method to remove motion artifacts from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals caused by chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This will enable continuous ECG analysis and shock decision-making by automated external defibrillators (AEDs) without interrupting CPR, improving survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims. The project aims to create a comprehensive database of CPR-contaminated ECG data and evaluate the performance of the artifact removal algorithm in real-world scenarios at the University of Michigan Medical Center. Successful completion of this 4-year project will provide an AHA-approved, validated solution to enable continuous CPR and rapid defibrillation, reducing interruptions that lead to adverse outcomes.
