Description

This dataset contains detailed records of inhaled and exhaled volumes as well as transthoracic impedance, collected during out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). The data are grouped by interventions (ie OHCA), with each intervention folder containing both ventilation volume data and transthoracic impedance signals. Each folder corresponds to a unique intervention. The purpose of this dataset is to provide transthoracic impedance signals and ventilation volumes that can be registered to better interpret these signals. This registration could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of resuscitation techniques and the physiological response of patients.

Steps to reproduce

For this study, the cases following the selection criteria were adult patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) attended to by the Paris Fire Brigade, equipped with an automated external defibrillator (AED) and a manual ventilation monitoring device, from May 2023 to November 2023. The use of AEDs (DGT7®, Schiller Medical SAS, Wissembourg, France) allows for the recording of impedance signals and additional events during resuscitation, while a manual ventilation monitoring device (EOLife®, Archeon, Besançon, France) is placed between the ventilation bag and the mask, thus recording the ventilation volumes (Vi and Vt) The EOLife® ventilation monitoring device measures the volumes of air entering and exiting using a flow sensor.
