Abstract—The increase in popularity for wearable technologies has opened the door for an Internet of Things (IoT) solution to healthcare. One of the most prevalent healthcare problems today is the poor survival rate of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests. The objective of this paper is to present a noval way of solving such a big problem by using Mobile IoT devices, Cloud computing technology and Machine learning. Mobile IoT that can collect physical activity such as heart rates and body temperature

autonomic responsiveness and electrochemical reactions at the electrode-tissue interface limit current amplitude and duration [30] [31]. Complications can arise during device implantation, such as infections or during extraction [32] [33]. Incorrect ventricular excitation can result in an asynchronous activation of the cardiac muscle [34], which is a poor substitute for the normal sinus rhythm, which could lead to increased incidence of AF and heart failure in the future [35]. Lead dislodgement and malfunction

(electrical shock) to an afflicted heart in order to carry out defibrillation. Defibrillation is achieved through an electric shock to the heart which helps to re-establish normal rhythms in a heart having dangerous arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), ventricular fibrillation (heart beats with rapid, erratic electrical impulses) or in cardiac arrest. The most used type of defibrillator in the recent world is AEDs. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are small portable, lightweight devices that use electrodes

Running head: Cardiac Arrest Cardiac Arrest Dylan Noble Utah Valley University Captain Steve Allred Paramedic 3110   Intro “Each year, 326,200 people in the U.S. experience EMS-assessed out-of-hospital non-traumatic sudden cardiac arrest, and nine out of ten victims die.” (www.sca-aware.org 1) This number may seem quite low, but in the end one out of ten lives saved is still better than none. This paper will be going over a scenario involving a real patient and what things could have been

Obstetric complications have also been connected with an increased risk of developing schizophrenia, an earlier age of disease onset, poorer outcomes and ventricular enlargement. Such complications appear to be more frequent and severe in males than females. (Allen et al., 2013; Dalman et al., 1999; Kelly et al., 2004). Prenatal exposure to influenza 5 months before birth

What is the path of the cerebrospinal fluid from its formation site? Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear, colorless fluid that acts as a cushion to protect and support the brain inside of the skull, while also playing an essential role in the removal of waste products from the brain. It can be found surrounding both the brain and spinal cord. I was motivated to do research on the path that the cerebrospinal fluid takes from its formation site because of its importance in protecting the brain.  Cerebrospinal

Abstract Almost everyone who works in EMS has this one thing in common, the fear of the pediatric call. Due to those calls being few and far between, the skills needed for a pediatric call are rarely at their best. There are also some who don’t keep their pediatric skills as sharp as others, because of the low amount of calls they might run on kids. This paper will be focusing on cardiac arrests in children, and opening the reality of how common it is becoming. Everything from what causes it, what

Question 1: Digoxin toxicity. Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index and chronic toxicity is more likely in the elderly and those with renal impairment. Since Mr Buchanan is 75 years old, he may already have some form of renal impairment and therefore is at a higher risk of developing toxic serums levels if continually taking Digoxin (Australian Medicines Handbook, 2016 and Nickson, 2014). Digoxin toxicity can be caused by prolonged use, an overdose or a general increase in the current dose (Australian

Syncope Syncope is when you lose consciousness and drop to the ground. Syncope may also be called fainting or passing out. It is caused by a sudden drop in blood flow to the brain. While most causes of syncope are not dangerous, syncope can be a sign of a serious medical problem. Signs that you may be about to faint include: • Feeling dizzy or light-headed. • Feeling nauseous. • Seeing all white or all black in your field of vision. • Having cold, clammy skin. If you fainted, get medical

INTRODUCTION: Methods to identify appropriate treatments for the various stages of ventricular fibrillation (VF) involve differentiating groups of subjects who will respond to defibrillation with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and those who require other therapies (e.g., CPR, drugs) prior to defibrillation. The use of quantitative waveform measures (QWM) which measure the frequency and fractal dimension of the VF electrocardiogram have shown success in predicting response to defibrillatory
