Researchers are looking to develop an artificial intelligence-based tool to provide more personalized resuscitation for patients.

Dr. Nick Johnson received the American Heart Association (AHA) Transformational Project Award, securing a $300,000 grant over three years to support the study titled, ARTE-FACT (Assessing Respiratory Parameters in the First Responder Airway and Compression Rate Trial). This is an ancillary study to the ongoing King County/Seattle EMS FACT trial.

Dr. Johnson will work with a team of co-investigators that include: Thomas Rea, Catherine Counts, Michael Sayre, Betty Yang, Jason
 Coult
, and Peter Kudenchuck.

The researchers will examine differences in ventilation parameters among patients treated with different airway strategies by first responders and build an artificial intelligence-based tool integrating multiple biosignals from the ventilation monitor and defibrillator to predict the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in real-time. 

Dr. Johnson said ventilation has historically been studied less than other aspects of CPR, but recent data suggest improving ventilation may be important for increasing survival. 

"We're moving the needle away from one-size-fits-all algorithms and toward more personalized resuscitation," said Johnson. "Artificial intelligence-based approaches allow us to analyze huge volumes of patient data, potentially even in real-time, to help clinicians make more informed decisions based on an individual patient's physiology."
