Description:

This thesis presents a method to compute CPR quality metrics based exclusively on the transthoracic impedance signal; evaluates the feasibility of the transthoracic impedance signal to estimate the depth of chest compressions; and proposes a reliable circulation detector based on the transthoracic impedance signal.
