Probably no Benefits & harms of the options What is the overall certainty of this evidence? included studies Very low Low Moderate High The relative importance or values of the main outcomes of interest: Outcome Relative importance Certainty of the evidence (GRADE) Time to start CPR IMPORTANT VERY LOW Time of first shock IMPORTANT VERY LOW Is there important uncertainty about how much people value the main outcomes? Important uncertainty or variability Possibly important uncertainty or variability Probably no important Time to start CPR IMPORTANT VERY LOW

5 Is there important uncertainty about how much people value the main outcomes? Are the desirable anticipated effects large? Are the undesirable anticipated effects small? uncertainty of variability important uncertainty of variability known undesirable Uncertain Uncertain Time of first shock IMPORTANT VERY LOW Summary of findings: standard care (analysis of cardiac rhythm during pauses in chest compressions) 1. The algorithm correctly identified 98% of nonshockable segments, 97.5% in adults and 98.4% in children, and identified 99.5% of shockable segments as likely shockable, 100% in adults and 96% in children. When likely shockable segments were further analysed in terms of regularity, spectral content and heart rate to form a complete rhythm analysis algorithm the overall specificity increased to 99.6% and the sensitivity was 99.1%. 4. During each resuscitation simulation, rescuers switched roles as chest compressor and defibrillator operator every two segments of CPR (one segment = 2 minutes of chest compressions, rhythm analysis, and shock delivery, if appropriate), for eight total segments. The participants rested 30 minutes between trials and received brief AC-CPR training (BLS = 30 seconds; ALS = 5 minutes). Heart rate and perceived exertion were measured with pulse oximetry and the Borg scale, respectively. 9. For the test database, the sensitivity improved from 57.8% (95% confidence interval, %) to 93.3% ( %) and the specificity decreased from 92.5% ( %) to 89.1% ( %). 12. ICG was recorded in 132 cardiac arrest patients (53 training, 79 validation) and 97 controls (47 training, 50 validation): the diagnostic algorithm indicated cardiac arrest with a sensitivity of 81.1% ( ) and specificity of 97.1% ( ) for the validation set (95% confidence intervals). 15. For the nonshockable rhythms, the probabilities of delivering at least 2 and 3 minutes of uninterrupted CPR were 58% (95% confidence interval, 54%-62%) and 48% (44%-52%), respectively. These are the probabilities of reducing and substantially reducing the frequency of CPR interruptions for rhythm analysis. For the shockable rhythms, the probability of avoiding unnecessary CPR prolongation beyond 2 minutes was 100% (99%-100%). 25. The achieved sensitivity of 90.1% meets the AHA performance goal for noise-free VF (>90%). The specificity of 88.5% for NR and 83.3% for ASYS are comparable or even better than accuracy reported in literature. It is important to note that, the aim of this SAS is not to recommend shock delivery but to advice the rescuers to "Continue CPR" or to "Stop CPR and Prepare for Shock" thus

6 Are the desirable effects large relative to undesirable effects? Probably no minimizing "hands-off" intervals. 26. Performance of the presented SAS versus AEDs is compared. The median hands-off time gained from earlier starting of ECG analysis is 5.8 s and for earlier shock advice is 12.5 s to 8.5 s when SAS rhythm analysis lasts 3 s to 7 s. The SAS accuracy at 3 7 s is: specificity % (ASYS), % (NSR), % (ONS); sensitivity % (VF), % (VThi). 28. The correlation between the mean chest compression rates estimated using TTI or CD was r = 0.98 (95% confidence interval, ). The sensitivity and specificity after filtering using CD were 95.4% ( %) and 87.0% ( %), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity after filtering using TTI were 95.4% ( %) and 86.3% ( %), respectively. Resource use Are the resources required small? Probably yes Is the incremental cost small relative to the net benefits? Probably yes

7 Equity What would be the impact on health inequities? Increased Probably increased Uncertain Probably reduced Reduced Acceptability Is the option acceptable to key stakeholders? Uncertain Feasibility Is the option feasible to implement?

8 Probably yes Recommendation Should analysis of cardiac rhythm during chest compressions vs. standard care (analysis of cardiac rhythm during pauses in chest compressions) be used for adults and children who are in cardiac arrest in any setting? Balance of consequences Undesirable consequences clearly outweighdesirable consequences in most settings Undesirable consequences probably outweigh desirable consequences in most settings The balance between desirable and undesirable consequences is closely balanced or uncertain Desirable consequences probably outweigh undesirable consequences in most settings Desirable consequences clearly outweigh undesirable consequences in most settings Type of recommendation We recommend against offering this option We suggest not offering this option We suggest offering this option We recommend offering this option We suggest not using new algorithms or artifact filters for the analysis of cardiac rhythm during chest compressions. Recommendation We suggest not using new algorithms or artifact filters for the analysis of cardiac rhythm during chest compressions.

9 The evidence we present has a certainty of evidence very low. Justification The evidence we present has a certainty of evidence very low. Subgroup Implementation Monitoring and evaluation We suggest more human studies in real cardiac arrest settings Research possibilities We suggest more human studies in real cardiac arrest settings

The relative importance or values of the main outcomes of interest: Outcome. Survival to Hospital Discharge

The relative importance or values of the main outcomes of interest: Outcome. Survival to Hospital Discharge Problem Is there a problem priority? Yes The existing evidence, though observational, indirect, imprecise, and thus very low quality, shows a consistent association between hypotension and adverse outcome.
