Abstract
Introduction: The incidence of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest appears to be increasing. Accurate diagnosis of PEA requires detecting absence of myocardial contractions, which is typically done using hemodynamic measurements, such as non-invasive blood pressure. At low pressures, distinguishing between PEA and perfusing rhythm can be challenging. Our objective was to evaluate whether an accelerometer already in place for CPR feedback could be used to detect myocardial contractions.
