As an important medical electronic equipment for the cardioversion of malignant arrhythmia such as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, cardiac external defibrillators have been widely used in the clinics. However, the resuscitation success rate for these patients is still unsatisfied. In this paper, the recent advances of cardiac external defibrillation technologies is reviewed. The potential mechanism of defibrillation, the development of novel defibrillation waveform, the factors that may affect defibrillation outcome, the interaction between defibrillation waveform and ventricular fibrillation waveform, and the individualized patient-specific external defibrillation protocol are analyzed and summarized. We hope that this review can provide helpful reference for the optimization of external defibrillator design and the individualization of clinical application.
The full-cycle rehabilitation management for orthopedic patients can solve the problems of standardization, systematization, and whole process of orthopaedic rehabilitation management, and prevent short-term and long-term complications. The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University has constructed a full-cycle rehabilitation management platform for orthopedic patients based on multi-source data since 2023, including six modules: multi-source data collection and integration module, intelligent individualized rehabilitation program setting module, and visual rehabilitation training module, and has explored a digitally-driven full-cycle rehabilitation management mode for orthopedic patients. This article elaborates on the platform’s functional design and implementation, full-cycle rehabilitation management mode, and application effectiveness, in order to provide a reference for promoting the integration of mobile health and orthopedic patient rehabilitation practice.
