Data from wearable wireless instrumentation device taken during simulated CPR with and without intentional error toward a quality feedback device.

Data of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation performed on a mannequin was collected via wearable instrumentation (using the MYO device). The data were collected for both "good" CPR and for performance of CPR with common errors introduced intentionally for this study. The data are labelled according to the error, and contain a variety of derived measurements. Data collected were used toward "Development of a novel cardiopulmonary resuscitation measurement tool using real-time feedback from wearable wireless instrumentation' (Ward et al., 2019) in which full context is available'. The data are available at Mendeley Data, doi:10.17632/pvjghfjmy4.1 (Ward et al., 2019).

Development of a novel cardiopulmonary resuscitation measurement tool using real-time feedback from wearable wireless instrumentation.

AIM: The design and implementation of a wearable training device to improve cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is presented. METHODS: The MYO contains both Electromyography (EMG) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors which are used to detect effective CPR, and the four common incorrect hand and arm positions viz. relaxed fingers; hands too low on the sternum; patient too close; or patient too far. The device determines the rate and depth of compressions calculated using a Fourier transform and dual-quaternions respectively. In addition, common positional mistakes are determined using classification algorithms (six machine learning algorithms are considered and tested). Feedback via Graphical User Interface (GUI) and audio is integrated. RESULTS: The system is tested by performing CPR on a mannequin and comparing real-time results to theoretical values. Tests show that although the classification algorithm performed well in testing (98%), in real time, it had low accuracy for certain categories (60%), which are attributable to the MYO calibration, sampling rate and misclassification of similar hand positions. Combining these similar incorrect positions into more general categories significantly improves accuracy, and produces the same improved outcome of improved CPR. The rate and depth measures have a general accuracy of 97%. CONCLUSION: The system allows for portable, real-time feedback for use in training and in the field, and shows promise toward classifying and improving the administration of CPR.
